The Dr Pepper Museum is a nonprofit cultural institution in downtown Waco, Texas, dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of Dr Pepper and the broader soft drink industry. Housed in the 1906 Artesian Manufacturing and Bottling Company building, it is a historic site listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is known as the Home of Dr Pepper. Since opening in 1991, it has welcomed more than 2.5 million visitors, underscoring its role as a regional educational venue. The museum serves visitors such as families, students, and other history enthusiasts seeking educational experiences about beverage history and American industrial heritage, placing it within the nonprofit museum sector. In March 2026, the institution announced the appointment of three new board members—Morgan Branum, Brad Rakes, and Jason Young—while a 2024 collections storage renovation project reflects ongoing preservation efforts.
