Cider Mill and Stoney Creek Sawmill during the Greenfield Village Restoration Project, September-October 2002

Artifact Overview

By 2000, Greenfield Village began showing its age. Buildings and crumbling infrastructure desperately needed repair. Museum planners envisioned a revitalized village. They created themed "Historic Districts" by relocating and refurbishing the historic structures. Workers repaved streets and upgraded water, sewer, electric, and gas lines. In June 2003, nine months after restoration began, visitors passed through a new entrance into a reborn Greenfield Village.

Cider Mill
The cider mill building was built at Greenfield Village in 1942 to house the cider-making equipment from Martinsville, Michigan. It is built on a bank, so the apples were brought into the building on the second floor, then fed by gravity to the first floor. The building's design is not based on any specific building.
