First off I visited this museum the same day that they had a festival there. This place really serves my interests because I like mechanical things and I enjoy the historic side of it. The day my son and I visited, there were demonstrations of various pieces of equipment. There were also vendors on site which offered additional demonstrations. If you share an interest in mechanic things then youd probably enjoy this tour.

My dad is into steam engines and we were lucky enough to discover them during a special event. My wife is not a fan of these types of places but even she was entertained for several hours. Lots of cool history here.

Great place to learn and enjoy steam powered machines. The staff and volunteers were very courteous, knowledgeable & friendly. We drove almost 3hrs to the steam festival and was not disappointed.

We went here for the Soulé Steam festival. I loved it and my kids did as well

Pretty cool place! Got to see it during the steam festival!

We totally enjoyed our visit. 20 minutes late for the 930 tour they added several of us on and circled back for us at the end. Go for a tour time - 930, 11, and 130. Amazingly intact steam engine factory and foundry. Who knew they built steam engines until 1982!Machines all work and there is live stream days the 1st weekend of Nov. Which wed love to get to.

The people here are very welcoming and are knowledgeable about the machines and history behind them. Make time to visit this treasure while youre here in Meridian.

Amazing history that you just wont see anymore amazingly preserved. Even cooler that its all still kept operational and is shown off in working order. Dont miss the live steam festival which happens once a year during the first weekend in November.

Very interesting Museum! Nice to see history preserved in this way. Tour guide was awesome take the time to visit!

Amazing local history......!

Awesome place, went there for the steam festival which is the first weekend in november each year. Really enjoyed it, lived in miss all my life this was the first time seeing it. Its a glimpse into life and buisness 100 yrs ago.

Its was awesome to see kids enjoying themselves. Drain some of engerv

Loved it ... They had it set up like Santas workshop

Without a doubt one of the most remarkable factory museums I have ever seen. Its a great collection of historical foundry and machine shop equipment... and it all works.

Had a great Celebration of Dr. Billups Jr.s Life at Soule. Very fitting to gather there since he loved working in his machine shop. Beautiful antique preservation.

Wow, history abounding in this place the smells, the sounds, you could almost fill the heat from the iron ore smelters has you listen to your guide tell the story. It is a must for any history buff. Please go and injoy.

Beautiful piece of history

Very interesting place. Went for the Soule Steam Festival

Great place for learning about old school industrial technology! Excellent photo opportunities!

Dont know what to say other than some one with the bright idea to charge 5 dollors to come in and walk around has lost there mind hope you know you just killed this event and it is a damn shame. absolutely no turn out for this what so ever no venders and will not come back and five dollars is not the point thanks for killing such an Awesome event .
