B.F. Clyde's Cider Mill

B.F. Clyde's Cider Mill is a historic cider mill located in Mystic, Connecticut. It is the oldest and only surviving steam powered cider mill in the United States. It is also the oldest continuous producer of hard cider in the United States.

History
Benjamin F. Clyde began selling apple cider in 1881, but had it pressed at other mills. He purchased his own mill in 1897. The mill itself was installed in 1898. It has all steel construction and has one of the final screw presses.

Since then, ownership of the mill has passed from generation to generation within the family, spanning six generations as of today. Visiting the mill is a local tradition.

In 1994 it was listed as a Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark by the ASME.
