Idaho Potato Museum, Agricultural museum in Blackfoot, Idaho, United States
The Idaho Potato Museum documents the story of potato farming in the region through exhibits on cultivation methods and farm equipment. The collection displays different varieties grown locally and explains both traditional and modern farming techniques.
The building opened in 1913 as a railroad depot before becoming a museum in 1988. This transformation turned a transportation hub into a center focused on potato history and regional farming culture.
The potato shapes how locals see their region and community. Visitors can see how this crop has woven itself into Idaho's sense of place and purpose.
A café serves potato-based dishes, and a shop offers potato-themed souvenirs. Both spaces sit within the museum and invite visitors to spend time exploring and enjoying the space.
The museum holds a Guinness World Record for the largest potato chip, a striking artifact that reflects how creative the region can be about its farming heritage. This unusual item draws attention from visitors curious about local quirks and records.
