Once a bustling flurry of activity, the stone depot represents significant ties between the railroad and the potato industry.

The museum is located in downtown Blackfoot, Idaho at 130 NW Main St. Parking with ADA access and plenty of room for Motor Coaches and RV’s. Relax in the small park with a picnic area.
