Dr Pepper Museum

Dr Pepper was created by Charles Alderton in Waco, Texas and first served in 1885. Today, it is sold worldwide. It has a long history; it started in a Pharmacy and was first manufactured in this building.

These are the people credited with making the tasty soda.

Typically, Dr. Pepper is either the first or second choice when someone wants a soda. Their bottles are recognizable, but not nearly as iconic as the Coke-a-cola bottles.

The museum is located in downtown Waco and was able to withstand the F5 tornado that stuck Waco on May 11, 1953.

There is a well on the property that was used to supply the water for making the beverages.

Advertisement has always been a large part of selling a product. Besides the ads, advertising included the packaging and the placement of the trademark on coolers, displays, and delivery vehicles.

If you are in Waco, it is worth a visit to the Dr. Pepper Museum.
