This year marks the 10th year of our annual cider tasting event which will take place Saturday, October 15.  The event will showcase many local hard and sweet ciders – including our own Kimlin Cider – to sample with our special 10th anniversary tasting glass. The event will also include:

• food vendor Dutchess Dog House
• behind-the-scene tours of the Mill
• raffles
• online auction
• children’s activities
• live music by the Roundabout Ramblers
• Fishkill Historical Society with their delicious made-to-order apple fritters as you learn about the work this group does to preserve local history
• Dutchess County Sports Museum with their exhibit on our local sports history
• Lawrence antique cider press plus with hands-on demos
• intriguing new additions to the Mill’s Museum of Antiquity
• other surprises!
