| History is in the Air at Cider Mill House The strong stone house that is Cider Mill House * has stood the test of time and been silent witness to 200 years of history. Before its existence a log cabin stood to the South - most likely the temporary residence while the stone house was being built. Since the land was granted by Lord Thomas Fairfax to Aron Jenkins, November 18, 1752, eleven owners have planted orchards, raised livestock, farmed the land and made the stone house home. Before the land was taken and granted by the English Crown, Native Americans passed across it on well worn trails. They paused at the spring and mined flint from the hillside. Hundreds of their “points” and tools have been found in and around the spring and garden area. The French & Indian War, the Revolutionary War and the War Between the States have left their mark on the property and the surrounding region. Some nearby historic sites include Ft. Frederick, Hagerstown, MD, Antietam ,Sharpsburg, MD, Gettysburg, PA, Harpers Ferry, WV, Berkeley Springs, WV ( Geo. Washington’s spa), The C&O Canal Nat’l Park. Martinsburg, Hedgesville and Berkeley Springs offer shops and historic sites as well. *And...why do we call it Cider Mill House? At one time an apple cider press and mill was located to the North of the house near the barn. We recovered the hand hewn drive screw mechanism from the barn and and the iron band that held the grind stone along with other pieces that had tumbled into the creek. |
| Cider Mill House is the Heart of Willow Run Farm, an active working farm. We encourage our guests to visit with the Pygora goats, chickens and Guinea Hens. We are home to a small herd of beef cattle which graze the property and we grow and cut our own hay. Many of the items on our breakfast menu come directly from our gardens and animals. While we are a mechanized farm today, Cider Mill House and farm are typical of the small farms of the past and present that contribute to the richness of our community. We are hands on farmers. Guests who are here in the spring or late summer may see us shearing the goats. The animals are fed twice a day and guests are invited to join us and learn about small farming. We have a large woodland area with nature trails and a variety of hardwood trees, wildflowers and plants. Guests are invited to walk these trails and the whole farm. |
