A Family Tradition The Franklin Cider Mill is a one-of-a-kind living piece of history. We take pride in our family-friendly atmosphere and strive to provide exceptional service. We press and bottle our own cider right here at the Mill! Each side of the press can hold up to sixty bushels of apples. Our cider season opens Labor day weekend and usually remains open until the first weekend after Thanksgiving. The donuts sold at the Mill are an old German recipe brought to this country many years ago. Our cider is NOT filtered, NOT pasteurized, and does NOT contain any form of preservative. It is a pure fruit juice and MUST be kept refrigerated Labels and business names similar to ours are now being used by others and are undoubtedly confusing to our customers. Please remember that there is only one outlet for our products, which is . . . THE FRANKLIN CIDER MILL!

A short drive from Downtown, Belle Isle is one of those places you just need to see. There’s a lot to see there including the James Scott Memorial Fountain and Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory. Honestly, you can plan an entire afternoon there and would have plenty to do. Also, this is yet another great view of the city, especially at sunset.
