Calling all lovers of Autumn: Clyde’s Cider Mill is open for the season! Grab your Just Mystic crewneck in cranberry, and don’t forget your tote bag to store all your apple-themed goodies.
Since 1881, this family-owned and operated business has been pressing apples via steam-powered press for generations of cider lovers to enjoy. As it enters its 143rd season in business, the National Historic Landmark cider mill is operated by 4th, 5th and 6th generation family members who are eager to see you and yours make memories together.

Whether you visit for the cider, the donuts, or the variety of delicious honey and apple-themed goodies inside the store, be sure to arrive early, as the parking lot fills up quickly (especially on weekends). You can also plan your visit during “pressing times,” or when the apples are pressed and juice is yielded, to witness the last steam-powered cider mill still in operation in the US today. Clyde’s typically presses apples on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-12pm, and occasionally on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am-12pm.
