Hollywood Highlights Local History from the Observer-Reporter [of Washington and Greene counties]
"The Whiskey Rebellion tale just wouldn’t be complete without someone being tarred and feathered.
And, that’s just what happened recently when crews filming a new television series for the National Geographic Channel came to the area to do a show on the Whiskey Rebellion. Clay Kilgore, executive director of the Washington County Historical Society, said he was contacted by the producers of “Diggers,” a new series starring metal-detecting buffs “King” George Wyant and Tim “Ringy” Saylor. The show follows Wyant and Saylor around the country looking to put their detectors to work to unearth pieces of history. The series is set to debut in 2013 on the cable channel."
