The Canadian Potato Museum is located in the community of O'Leary and depicts an interesting display of the potato industry, and houses a large collection of farm implements and machinery related to the growing and harvesting of potatoes. In fact, this museum contains the largest exhibit of potato artifacts in the world!
In 1999 a major expansion was constructed and the building now covers over 7000 square feet. Collectors of the curious will be pleased to find a recently added giant sculptured potato at the entrance to the museum. The complex includes other attractions on site such as the Heritage Chapel, the Log Barn and the Little Red Schoolhouse.
