The Isle of Wight County Museum is home to one of the most prized artifact 'The World's Oldest Edible cured Ham'. The story goes back to 1902 when a local pork processor, Pembroke D. Gwaltney Jr. cured a ham, which then got misplaced and forgotten. It was rediscovered, decades later and Pembroke knew he had a ham which was as valuable as gold. He then had a brass collar outfitted on the ham and called it his 'Pet Ham' and kept it on display for his customers, as proof of his ability to preserve meat without refrigeration. The ham became famous and featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not, in the years 1929, 1932 and 2003. In present times the appearance of the ham looks like dried leather or an expired human arm. It occupies a climate-controlled display case with two other hams, one of which is supposed to be the largest ham in the world.
