Description

Experience the last authentic vestige of the once-thriving cider and applejack industry in New Jersey. Discover the hidden still that allowed this distillery to operate through prohibition. Sense the massive stone walls and heavy timber structure built in 1848. See how water power is transferred by shafts, pulleys, and belts to drive conveyors, chopper, and large, powerful presses. This is the Ralston Cider Mill, the only operational cider mill functioning as a privately funded museum and educational experience for students of all ages.

Visit the museum on our annual apple pressing day to observe pressing on historic equipment and taste the fresh cider! $15 admission includes pressing, video, and samples. Plus, take home cider for a $10/gallon donation.
