A pretty cool museum at one of the hop-on hop-off tours during our American Queen cruise (so it was free for us to enter). This is the location where the first Coca Cola was bottled back in the 1800s. You literally see the transition of all the Coca Cola advertising and memorabilia as you walk through the displays. Lots of artifacts and interesting information. There is a little shop where you can purchase souvenirs, gifts, and even a Coke float! Definitely check it out and read through some (or all!) of the history. Pretty cool stuff. And I don't even like Coca Cola! Cheers!!! read more

I have been wanting to come for some time now, and since I was in the area doing other things, I stopped in. Very reasonable admission price, there is a lot of memorabilia to look at. Seeing as this was where Coca-Cola was bottled for the first time, there is a lot of history here. I am so glad I did come, and I recommend this for anyone in the area. read more

Stopped by the Coca-Cola museum today in Vicksburg for a quick visit. Due to time restraint, we didn't do the tour of the museum; however, we had the Root beer float. During our visit, it wasn't busy, and we had the entire store to browse without rushing. Seeing all the past bottles sure brings back a lot of great memories. The store attendant was very friendly. Stop by when you're in the area. read more

This is a nice museum. it is very small and my wife and I walked it pretty fast. someoem if they take their time to read everything could probably stay for about one hour in this museum. The price was very fair as it was only $3.50 a ticket. The employee was very nice and friendly. We shopped the store and there is some nice priced items. We got a coke with cane sugar before they switched it to the new cokes in the 80s. I would recommend this place to some one visiting. read more

It's ok. Pretty neat story, and there is some information on that story and the significance of the building and museum. The rest just seems to be Coca-Cola memorabilia. That's ok if that's what you like. Pretty small, though. read more

We absolutely loved this experience! The museum was so cool, and as coke enthusiasts and collectors, we were in awe the whole time. The employee was super nice too, she gave us a lot of information about the museum and the city as a whole. Would definitely visit again, and if you like coke, a certain must-see! read more

This tour is kinda cool. It's one of the few paid tours we went through. But just $3.50 . It would have been hard to justify anything more. Still. It was fun looking at the memorabilia. read more

2.5 Rating: Came here today with our family as we were passing through Mississippi. The cost is 3.50 per person. They consist of about a room and a half of memorabilia may take 10 minutes max to get through the entire thing or longer depending on if you read everything. Be careful if you have a disability it's hard to get up and down the steps with a walker there is no ramp to help those that are disabled get up and down. All in all it was something to do. If you love Coca-Cola this might be a spot for you to stop in or if you want to get your kids a root beer float or a cold beverage for about two dollars for a soda and this may be a stop for you. You may also purchase memorabilia if that's up your alley. Parking is available on the side of the museum, if interested. read more

" Nice Historical Items To Look At " We went to the Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum in Vicksburg, MS and had a nice time walking around and looking at all the history of the different Coca Cola Cans, Bottles, Clocks, Soda Machines, and every other memorabilia that Coca Cola had over the ages. They also have Coca Cola items for sale and have some free Coca Cola samples. Including fresh Cokes, floats, and ice cream for purchase. read more

This is an adorable little stop in the downtown Vicksburg area. Very cheap admission, and lots of fun historical items relating to the history of Coca Cola. It's cozy and quirky and we had a blast. They also sell ice cream floats and glass bottle sodas. read more

Lovely museum - small but lots to look at. Very well curated items plus some neat vintage treasures. I think they may have used to give out samples but b/c of COVID they cannot. Cute gift shop. read more

Small but quaint museum with a lot of memorabilia. Interesting to see and inexpensive to visit. Get a coke float on the way out! It is right in downtown and close to several other attractions. read more

Total tourist trap. If you HAVE TO go, get a coke from the front. The front store is kind of nice. Otherwise there is nothing there at all. The "museum" is a few signs I could get at a yard sale. The "antique soda fountain" is a few papers of explanation that were lifted from the Internet. "Museum" takes five minutes max to see. read more

This place never actually produced Coca Cola, but they did assist in bottling for Coke in the early years. The museum is limited, but also cheap. If you are a fan of Coke, make a stop. Drinks and ice cream are also available. read more

This museum caught my ten year olds eye which is the main reason we paid the $3 per person (kids over 6 $2). It was cute but nothing earth shattering by any means. Neat idea and quaint. Took about 15 minutes to view and that is if you walk slowly. ;) I wouldn't go out of the way to walk this museum. It really almost looks like an individual's collection of coca cola items. If walking by and curious then enjoy! read more

The museum is housed in what was formerly a candy factory and soda fountain on the main drag of old Vicksburg. The building is beautiful, but not very well-kept. The lady who was "running" the museum seemed like she wanted to talk to us rather than let us go through the museum. She was actually sort of creepy. There is a lot of Coke memorabilia in this place and well documented and dated, but like LT. says, it looks like some individual's personal collection. The sheer volume of Coke bottles is interesting to see, along with the carbonation machine - I learned something. We came to Vicksburg looking for something other than the battlefield and monuments to see, and we saw other things. This one wasn't spectacular. read more

Birthplace of bottled Coke. Growing up in the South where a Coke was an accepted breakfast item, the history of Coke means more than just an occasional beverage. The original bottling equipment exhibit shows how far Coke has come from a Mississippi town. We had bottled Cokes with real sugar at the end - highly recommended. The host at the front were very attentive, true southern hospitality. read more

Very cheap and very small museum. It was a straight walk through but it's a piece of history. It happens to be the place where Coke was first ever bottled. Swing through to see the different bottles, soda machines, and coolers from the old days. They also have fresh Cokes, floats, and ice cream for purchase, along with other Coke memorabilia. read more

Take a step back in time at Biedenharn and treat yourself to a slice of Americana. Be sure to order a Coke float. They pour the Coke out of a plastic bottle and not, as I had hoped, from the fountain. It was still sublime! read more

This was such a cool find!! Very educational and informative. We learned a lot about Coca Cola and its bottling history. The staff was super sweet and extremely helpful in suggesting places for us to visit in Vicksburg. The museum is small and self-guided, but definitely worth the tour if you love learning random facts and history, like myself. Their souvenir shop was super neat. Kinda pricey for some of the things, but that's expected for most tourist gift stores. We ended our adventure with a Coca Cola float that was scrumptious, even in the 36 degree weather. I highly recommend this place for visitors!! read more

This felt like less of a museum than an individual's collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia. The original soda shop is at the back of the shop, and the owners/curators have attached placards of how the soda fountains worked, but it looks a little forgotten compared to the main shop. On the other hand, the admission is quite cheap - $3. read more

Interesting step-into-the-past Coca Cola soda fountain and museum. It is worth 5-10 minutes to see the soda fountain area for free. Unless you are really into Coca Cola memorabilia and history, I'm not sure the museum is worth the admission. read more

Two stars because it does have cool Coca Cola nostalgia. Calling it a museum is a bit of a stretch though. Skip the 'museum' part and just walk around the store section. Get a drink or s float if you want but they are bottled, not fountain tap versions so nothing spectacular. read more

This is really not a museum but more like someone's personal collection. It'll take you 15 minutes tops to see it all and it's mostly replicas. The shop has a few items that you can pick up from amazon less expensive. Not worth the $ they charge to go through a few rooms. If you've been to the World of Coke in Atlanta, this will be a huge disappointment. read more

Maybe I was expecting too much, but I didn't feel it was worth the $3.50 pp entry fee. It was very hot and dusty. I read the review from 1/23 and I'm wondering where the helpful staff was. When we entered, a lady behind the counter yelled at us as we approached the door. I guess she thought we were trying to get in free. There are a lot of Coca Cola related items there for sure, but I didn't find it very educational. I don't think I could call this a museum. There was only 1 person around and she was a bit grouchy. We left after walking through the hot dusty building and went down the street to the Old Depot Museum which was very much worth the entry fee. read more

This is a small museum with lots of Coca-Cola items. There is a BEAUTIFUL marble fountain where they dispensed the Coca-Cola. Their claim to fame is they are the first place to sell Coke in a bottle. You can still buy the small, thick bottle Cokes there. Nice little stop. read more
