The Marion Cider Mill was located at 1210 N. Monroe Street in 1904. This would have placed it at the fringe of city limits in this time.

Absolutely nothing is known about this business or its owners other than this single photo published in the 1905 Souvenir History of the county and one Marion business directory listing.

Whether the cider they produced was “hard” or just regular apple cider is up for debate at this time until more is discovered.
