From its agricultural roots to its place in pop culture, the potato's entire story is told here with genuine charm. You'll come away with a whole new appreciation for what's on your dinner plate.
Collection Highlights
The collection features everything from historic farming equipment and the world's largest potato chip to a delightful exhibit of vintage potato mashers and Mr. Potato Head toys. Don't miss the 'Potato Lab,' which explains the science behind growing the perfect tuber.
Visitor Information
Be sure to grab some famous potato fudge from the gift shop or a loaded baked potato from the on-site Potato Station Cafe—it’s the perfect way to cap off your visit.
Architecture & Building
The museum is cleverly set inside Blackfoot's original Union Pacific Railroad Depot, a classic early 20th-century station building that gives the place loads of character.
