General Info:

COVID-19 UPDATE: Museum will be closed until April 18, 2020. Preserving and interpreting America’s industrial heritage is important. The Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum at historic Soule Steam Feed Works tells the story of how things were made and how hard people worked back in the early 20th century. This site is America’s last intact steam engine factory and manufactured Soule Rotary and Spee-D-Twin steam engines from 1892 until 1980. The museum has an impressive collection of portable and stationary steam engines. Much of the factory with its antique equipment and fittings appear as though workers just walked away. Guided tour is given Monday through Friday at 10:00 a.m. daily during the winter (thru March 20, 2020). Other tour times may be available with advanced notice. Groups of 10 or more can receive a discounted rate. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Designated a Mississippi Landmark and Official State Historical Industrial Museum.
