Allen's Cider Mill is a historic cider mill at 7 Mountain Road in Granby, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gable roof and a 1-1/2 story shed addition, which was built in 1899 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The property has a history of cider making dating as far back as 1783, when Silas Cossitt opened a mill nearby. The present mill building uses framing elements from the original 1783 structure. The mill is one of the few operational pre-20th century wooden cider mills in Connecticut.[2]
