Picture Tolland: Remembering An Old Mill

TOLLAND, CT — The latest installment of the Picture Tolland series takes us back to a favorite of the late and celebrated former town historian Barbara Cook — the old Crandall Cider Mill well before the modern-day Crandall's Park.

The structure was originally a saw mill, grist mill and cider mill and the cider mill still operated in the 1940s, according to Cook's notes.

It was opened for swimming by Miss Lillie Crandall.

The property was acquired by the town in 1965, with the old mill used for bathhouses until it burned down.
