ROOTS & RELICS is a documentary adventure series that brings America’s past to life through extraordinary stories hidden within family heirlooms, treasured relics, and forgotten homesteads scattered across the nation.

Host and Curator JD HART travels the country in search of these remarkable connections to history, exploring dusty barns, forgotten attics, and long-sealed boxes to uncover the people, events, and personal journeys behind them, while meeting the families committed to preserving their legacy.

Blending cinematic documentary storytelling, historical reenactment, and immersive on-location exploration, the series reveals how seemingly ordinary objects can unlock extraordinary chapters of American history, celebrating the enduring power of heritage, memory, and the stories that connect us all.

The hunt is on. Roots & Relics is now looking for unique family heirlooms and artifacts to feature on our series. From ice-age tools to the original Nintendo, every item with a unique personal story to tell counts!

Please share your name and contact information, a few details about your personal artifact and if possible, a photo or video of the item. Feel free to share as many as you want. We would love to know more!
