Thompson's Mills Cider Pressing
Cider season's Grand Finale at Thompson's Mills
Saturday, October 26, will be the last cider pressing event of the season at Thompson's Mills State Heritage Site east of Shedd. Widely regarded as the best cider ever. Come to help press, sample and take home a half gallon or two. There is a storytime for kids at 10:30 then everyone lends a hand to press 800 pounds of apples. Come early to avoid disappointment. The park is open from dawn to dusk with free tours of Oregon's last water-powered mill from 9-4. Picnic, fish, and learn about your Willamette Valley heritage.
