Canadian Potato Museum & Antique Farm Machinery Museum

Very neat place to go visit. Had a whole section of just old farm equipment. Very interesting to read and see how potatoes came here and the history of them on PEI . They also have a small section on local history that's cool . The restaurant ( bit slow in service but they were short staff and it was a crazy busy day ) The food was yummy and reasonably priced .

In past years, I have walked through the museum. Great information and history lesson.
I often eat at the restaurant located at the museum. Of course, it has lots of baked Potato options on the menu.
It is busy at lunchtime.
Overflow parking at the church across the road... there is space for RV's.

We were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed this museum. We attended a potato museum in Blackfoot, ID. And, we were thinking this one would be pretty much along the same lines.

Boy! We were wrong. This potato museum goes into depth about the history of the potato, how the Eurporeans 'discovered' it, how it is planted and seeded today, how it is harvested and the various kinds of diseases and pest that can infect the potato. The videos were professonally done, and we enjoyed watching them.

There is a section that has a lot of old farming equipment used to plant and harvest the potato.

The added bonus was a bit of history for the local area.

All in all we were very impressed. Highly recommend this museum.

It's very neat to see what potatoes do, and what they're used in. Very cool garage with plenty of harvesting machines to examine. Attached, is a community museum where people donate and share their equipment (nothing about potatoes, just a mini-museum). There is also a restaurant in case you get hungry while scouring the museum for around 45-60 minutes.

Learned lots of things about potatoes. It also has a cool exhibit about Island history. Has a nice gift shop and a nice place to eat. The only place we ate on PEI that had fresh fried potato chips, instead of fries. Very friendly staff throughout. Nice rainy day activity!
