  • Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum, Vicksburg, MS
    While shooting the Images of Vicksburg, Mississippi, I stumbled upon the Biedenharn Coca-Cola Museum, where Coke was first bottle in 1894. I walked inside to check it out and when I turned around I saw this family standing at the counter. It reminded me of a Norman Rockwell painting as they looked like the perfect American family in a warm and friendly atmosphere. I grabbed a couple of quick shots as they enjoyed a local history lesson and soda fountain treat at the downtown Museum. The store has displays and furnishings from the 1890s and offers ice cream, fountain Cokes, Coke floats and souvenirs. Photo by Brian McCord
