The Historic Cider Mill Building
Welcome to the Cider Mill! Come wind your way through our shops,
studios and stop by the coffee counter for a sweet treat.
And after all of that, take a casual stroll down the Central
Massachusetts Rail Trail whose entrance can be found at the
end of our parking lot.
A Brief History of the Cider Mill
The Cider Mill, erected in 1898, began doing business as The Sterling Cider Co.,
Inc. in 1906.
From 1906 to the 1970's, surviving a fire in 1928 and
a few different owners, the mill ran as a production site for products
such as Apple Cider, Cider Vinegar, Apple Juice and Sparkling Cider.
During the late 1970's to the early 1980's the mill sat idle and became
somewhat derelict.
In the mid 1980's the Sterling Mill Works was established as a gallery,
artist studio haven and craft/candle shop.
Early in the 2000's the mill was waning and was sold to its next and
present owner. At this time the Cider Mill Arts and Antiques Building
came to be.
Now just known as the Cider Mill, the building has experienced a rebirth.
Phoenix-like, it is once again a bustle of activity and prosperity,
taking its place as a vital cog in the history and economy of the region. |
