The Franklin Cider Mill is open for visitors to view our remarkable 100-year-old cider making process. You’ll see the chopped apples dropping onto a pressing cloth, then being wrapped in the cloth, layered, and finally pressed by our original 90-ton press to make Franklin Cider Mills’ award-winning apple cider.
