PAINT CREEK CIDER MILL
4480 Orion Road, north of Snell Rd., Oakland Township, MI.
A grist mill was established at the site of Goodison in 1835 by Needham Hemingway. In 1950, the original mill was torn down and the existing cider mill erected. A restaurant was opened in the northern section of the mill in the mid-1980's, but has since closed. Ownership of the cider mill has been transferred to Oakland Township, which plans to continue operation of the store and use the facility for township and organization offices.
