Held the First Weekend in November Each Year
Located at the Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum in Downtown Meridian, Mississippi
Take a trip back to the age of steam with a tour through America's last intact steam engine factory. Experience what it was like to work at the turn of the twentieth century. A belt-driven machine shop, iron foundry, assembly shop and 1930's office give visitors a glimpse of how things were made in America.
The highlight of the festival is that the steam engines operate using live steam. What is live steam? Live steam is a term that indicates steam pressure is used in machines to create movement-- making the machine come to life! Come see, smell, touch and hear all this historic space has to tell!
