The oldest continuously operated cider mill in Michigan is found in Dexter, along the shore of the Huron River. It was founded in 1886 and over its long history the mill has had only three owners. “We still have the original washer, grinder, and crusher,” says Richard Koziski, who owns the Dexter Cider Mill with his wife, Katherine. “People from the Henry Ford Museum have been here to observe. We share stories back and forth.”
