What do history buffs and Coca Cola drinkers have in common? They’d all enjoy a visit to Biedenharn Coca Cola Museum in Vicksburg. In addition to being stuffed to the brim with Coca Cola exhibits and memorabilia, the museum sells Coke floats and a large variety of Coca Cola souvenirs. Take a look:
Among the variety of must-see attractions in downtown Vicksburg, you’ll find the Biedenharn Coca Cola Museum.
It’s located at 1107 Washington Street.
Stocked with an incredible collection of Coca Cola memorabilia, a visit to the museum is like taking a trip back in time.
The building that houses the museum is just as historically significant as the contents inside.
It was built back in 1890 and used by the Biedenharn family as a candy company and shoe store. But the most significant thing about the building is that it’s where Coca Cola was first bottled in 1894.
A fun visit for all ages, the museum is filled with an array of exhibits, photos, and memorabilia.
As you make your way around the museum, you’ll find an amazing assortment of Coca Cola products from throughout the years.
Display cases are filled with Coca Cola products, and include everything from holiday items to home decor.
The items on display are accompanied by information, shedding light on the Biedenharn family, the original bottling process, and other Coca Cola history and facts.
But you can do more than look at Coca Cola products while at the museum.
The museum includes a soda fountain, where you can buy Coke floats and other Coca Cola goodies. There's also a souvenir shop.
Admission to the museum is $2.50 for kids 6-12, $3.50 for anyone over 12, and free for kids under 6.
Biedenharn Coca Cola museum is open daily. Visit Monday – Saturday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday 1:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. For more information, call (601) 638-6514. You can also visit the Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum website.
