Blackfoot, Idaho
and the
Potato Museum
Blackfoot
The Idaho Potato Museum in Blackfoot, Idaho is an educational institution celebrating both the potato and its role in the economic growth of Idaho. The museum began in 1990 and is located at the site of a former Oregon Short Line Railroad Depot.
The museum’s exhibits include the world’s largest potato chip, measuring 25
inches, and a timeline history of potato consumption in the U.S. (including the
introduction of French fries to the White House cuisine during the presidency of
Thomas Jefferson). Also on display are 1,600-year-old vessels made in Peru,
which are believed to be the first equipment used specifically for potato
storage. The museum also maintains its own Hall of Fame that pays tribute to
individuals who made significant contributions to the potato industry.
