B. F. Clyde's Cider Mill
The oldest steam-powered cider mill still operating in the United States, where apples are pressed on site in autumn and served with apple cider donuts.
B. F. Clyde's Cider Mill was founded in 1881 and is the oldest steam-powered cider mill still operating in the United States. It is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It is open from September through December, and on weekends you can watch an old-fashioned steam engine press apples. The shop sells fresh-pressed apple juice, hard cider, apple cider donuts, apple pie and pumpkins. Crowds peak on October weekends, when the parking lot is often full. The mill lies about 5 km north of the old town of Mystic and is a classic New England autumn experience.
