History
The Biedenharn Museum was built in 1913 as a private home by Joseph A. Biedenharn, who is credited with first bottling Coca-Cola in the summer of 1894 while living in his birthplace of Vicksburg, Mississippi. The home is open for tours and furnished as it was during the residence of Joseph Biedenharn's daughter, Emma Louise "Emy-Lou" Biedenharn, who died in 1984.[3]
ELsong Garden
The garden's name is short for Emy-Lou's song, named after Emy-Lou Biedenharn, Joseph Biedenharn's daughter.[4][3] The garden settings include the Four Seasons Garden, Oriental Garden, and Musical Grotto.[2]
