The society’s Pioneer Village, which includes historic homes, a one-room school house and more, was used as a backdrop for the cable network’s series How the States Got Their Shapes.

The series will air at 10 p.m. on Tuesday.

The show’s producers, Half Yard Productions were at the village filming earlier this year, said Tawnie McMorrow, historical society executive assistant said. “But we had to keep it hush-hush.”

McMorrow said she still didn’t have any details on what the footage show in the village will be like, but they spent much of the day at the grounds and village.

The Tuesday episode of How The States Got Their Shapes is titled Culture Clash.

The synopsis, according to the website: Will rivalries within our states break them into pieces? Cultures compete against each other all over the map. In extreme cases, they can divide states in two. How did World War II preserve the shape of California? Will part of Maine break off and become Northern Massachusetts? And as new cultures move into Florida, will the state’s cowboy tradition get pushed off the map?

The show’s weekly format explores the history of how each state got its present day shape. Sometimes it is a matter of geography, but often there are a variety of reasons that are based on culture, rivalries and more. The show “puts the pieces of the puzzle together,” ultimately revealing the unique geography, political and social history of America, the producers said in a release to the historical society.

Past episodes, according to The History Channel have examined several state questions including:

Why is California bent?...To cling on to gold. Why does Oklahoma have a panhandle?... Because of shifting borders for slavery. Why does Missouri have a boot?...Because of a massive earthquake.
