Thompson's Mills Cider Pressing

Press Your Own Cider at Thompson’s Mills!

The Thompson’s Mills Preservation Society invites you to a series of family-friendly, old-fashioned cider pressing events at the historic Thompson’s Mills State Heritage Site (32655 Boston Mill Drive, Shedd, Oregon).

 Event Dates:

• Saturday, August 30 (apple availability dependent—please call ahead)

• Saturday, September 20

• Saturday, October 11 & 25

•  Time: 12 PM to 3 PM

Come early or stay late—the park is open dawn to dusk. Pack a picnic, explore the grounds, and take a guided tour of Oregon’s last remaining water-powered mill, built in 1858. Then, roll up your sleeves to help press fresh apples and sample the cider you helped make!

 Half-gallon jugs of cider are available by donation.

Bring the whole family for a taste of Oregon history—literally!
