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.
