Eagle Mills Cider Company - Broadalbin, New York

Eagle Mills Cider Company, working water powered mill in Broadalbin, New York
Step Back In Time...
Our 100 year old water wheel still powers the cider mill, as well as our old fashioned ice cream maker. This incredible array of belts, pulleys and line shafts move apples through the mill, up the apple elevator, through the grinder and finally to our antique, knuckle joint cider press, where they are squeezed and blended to produce our famous Eagle Mills Cider.
The same waters of the Kennyetto Creek that dance in an endless cascade through the water wheel, also flow under New York's only remaining double-walkway, drive through Covered Bridge.
Your family will also enjoy many other fun attractions:
• Eagle Mills Express Train• Gemstone Mining• Dino Dig• Kidsville• Ice Cream Mill• Bakery and Fudge Shop• Petting Goat Junction

Howe Caverns - Howes Cave, NY

Howe Caverns: the Northeast's premier natural show cave
Imagine...stepping into an elevator that takes you 156 feet below the Earth's surface. When the elevator stops, the doors open into a prehistoric underground cavern six million years in the making. As you exit into the Vestibule, your imagination takes hold.

The air down here is different. A constant 52º Fahrenheit / 12º Celcius and 70-75% humidity, year round.

As your eyes adjust to the underworld, shadows hide secrets in every crack and crevice. Sound echos off the walls and ceiling, reminding you of just how deep you have decended and what surprises await you in the underground wonder.

You don't have to be a serious caver or spelunker to appreciate the geology of Howe Caverns. Your specially trained tour guide will help you negotiate the cave and learn about the magnificent limestone formations, the stalactites, stalagmites and flowstone, and the tremendous conservation effort underway to protect and preserve Howe Caverns for future generations.
