As summer winds down in Connecticut, you may be itching to trade in your shorts and flip flops for sweaters and boots. The cooler air brings more than just a change in wardrobe, it also ushers in all your favorite fall activities. What better way to kick off the season than a visit to a historic cider mill? Enjoy autumn to its fullest while sipping cider and munching on apple cider donuts.

B.F. Clyde's Cider Mill has been making cider since 1881 in Mystic. This beloved seasonal operation is the oldest steam-powered cider mill in the nation.
