Biedenharn Candy Company Coca Cola Museum
Vicksburg, MS
From collectors
The Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum is a fascinating insight into the beginnings of bottled Coca-Cola and how the bottling process shaped the drink into the famous brand we know today. Situated in the original building where the soda was first bottled, the Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum is presented by the Vicksburg Foundation for Historic Preservation.
DO NOT REMOVE SCANS, EVEN RETIRED DESIGN SCANS!!!
(While our two penny machines are within the museum, we keep smashed pennies in the gift shop for those who do not want to pay the $3.50 for admission into the museum. In addition, our machines rarely break down, but when they do, we keep smashed pennies so that no one is ever disappointed. Just because we keep smashed pennies, doesn't mean that the machines break down a lot, they do not! We are simply well-prepared. We are also very happy to smash pennies for people who mail us their pennies, fifty cents for each one, and a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
We try to be extremely accommodating, but everyone who enters the museum is required to pay admission and I don't think that is a negative thing!).
