Franklin Cider Mill, Franklin Village, Michigan
70Historic Franklin Cider Mill
Every fall Detroit area residents can treat themselves to a visit to the historic Franklin Cider Mill in Franklin Village on the corner of 14 Mile and Franklin Roads. There's nothing like a cup of hot cider and couple of warm freshly-made donuts. Freshly squeezed cider, fresh-baked apple pies and other delicious fall apple delicacies are also available. We made our first fall visit today, and my daughter Sarah took the pictures. You can learn a bit about the history of the mill from her pictures below.
