Autumn is on in Arkansas. Perhaps you’ve already planned a few day trips such as pumpkin picking and enjoying the cool weather with a hike or two. Are you in need of another fun-filled fall activity? If you’re looking for something to fend off the nip in the crisp air, then a tasty visit to a cider mill is exactly what will complete your fall in Arkansas.

Black Apple Crossing is the first cider mill in Arkansas. It’s in downtown Springdale.
