Program areas at Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum

The Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum continues to preserve restore and interpret historic Soule Steam Feed Works. During the past year the museum certified safety sprinkler system. In general upkeep the steam engines and other historic machine shop equipment require a great deal of care throughout the year so that they can still be operable during museum events and larger tours. It is the museums desire that equipment be displayed and shown in motion rather than as a static display.
The museum continues its outreach by opening the museum for private events during the year. Larger groups of visitors attending private events provide an opportunity for a different public audience to experience and learn about Soule and industrial heritage. Private events open the museum to the hosts their family friends colleagues employees and business patrons. For a set fee the museum is open during the off-hours for these private events. The museum also participates in state and regional conferences and events for additional outreach with other museums preservationists and other organizations. The Museum hosted the Meridian Symphony Associations presentation of The Music of Paul Davis an event showcasing artist Paul Davis a native of Meridian.
