A reception and book signing celebrating the publication of A Guide to Mississippi Museums was hosted by the Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum on Friday, January 12, 2024, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The authors, Richelle Putnam and Diane Williams, did a brief presentation and autographed copies of the book.
Thank you, Sharon Pratt, The Meridian Council of the Arts, Visit Meridian, and Mississippi Industrial Heritage Museum (Soule') so providing such a scrumptious spread at Soule'.
The Soulé family stood at the helm of the Soulé Steam Feed Works for over a century. Luminary George W. Soulé boasts an impressive portfolio of 25 U.S. patents and has passed his vision on to the next generations. This familial legacy endured for 110 years.
Thank you, Meridian community, for joining us at our first event of the 2024 book tour for Mississippi and the Great Depression. To my readers, Meridian is home to nine museums, all of which are highlighted in the book.

Soule': Blending the Past and Present
In the heyday of 1885-1930, as the rhythmic hum of small to medium-sized sawmills echoed through the Southern landscape, Soulé’s inventions became the backbone of this flourishing industry. His patents seamlessly wove into products that catered to the burgeoning needs of sawmills, becoming the era’s unsung heroes.
