A Washtenaw County staple, Dexter Cider Mill has been serving up cider and donuts since 1886, stop by their store this fall to see why.

Stop by the ATM or bring your checkbook because the Dexter Cider Mill does not accept credit but has a shop full of goodies you’ll want to try. More than just cider, donuts and apples, the store has fall treats like honey, jams, butters and more. The Cider Mill has scenic outdoor seating along the Huron River behind the shop, however there are a lot of bees. If you’d like an alternative spot to enjoy your treats, here are a few parks nearby.
