About Biedenharn Museum Gardens [-]
In 1894, Joseph A. Biedenharn, a country businessman in Vicksburg, Mississippi and owner of the Biedenharn Candy Company, made a world changing decision. In order for his customers outside downtown Vicksburg to have Coca-Cola, he had his brother Herman put Coca-Cola into Biedenharn bottles, making the Biedenharn Candy Company the first to ever bottle Coca-Cola.Today, Coca-Cola is sold in more than 200 countries.Under Joe's leadership, his brothers, sons, and grandsons, established plants in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Arkansas eventually becoming the ninth largest bottling corporation in the United States.Joe Biedenharn was not defined by his accomplishment of bottling Coca-Cola. Joe was also a vital part of the community of Monroe in the early 20th century. His kind, gentle, and charismatic personality enabled him to become elected City Commissioner.As City Commissioner, Joe paved the first streets in Monroe and helped transform Forsythe Park from a fairground to the park we see today.Biedenharn Museum & Gardens gives visitors a look at one of the most interesting Coca Cola museums around, with rooms full of memorabilia, including the first Coca-Cola delivery truck, which delivered Biedenharn bottles filled with Coke in the 1890s.
