Idaho is famous for its potatoes the world over, so it is natural that there is a potato museum. It is located in the 1913 building that originally housed the Oregon Short Line Railroad Depot. Today, Idaho Potato Museum showcases the history and the importance of the potato industry for the region and the state through a range of exhibits.
These include the largest potato chip in the world, a Peruvian 1,500-year-old container made specifically to store potatoes, a timeline of potato consumption in America that includes the introduction of french fries to the White House during the time of Thomas Jefferson, and so much more. The renovated station baggage claim room has been converted to the Potato Station Café, offering potato-themed foods, including potato chips dipped in chocolate.
