Hauenstein Cider Press - Swiss Heritage Village, Berne

Watch the world's largest cider press in action. Located at Swiss Heritage Village in Berne, Indiana, it was built in 1864 in Huntington Indiana, and was moved to Berne a few years ago. The Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. wanted the press, so Berne is fortunate to have this treasure. It is now operated one day a year, at the annual Swiss Heritage Village Festival.

There is one almost exactly like this at Igartubeiti Baserria in the Basque Country. I was amazed by its size, but this one does seem bigger! It's interesting to see that the Swiss and the Basques used the same kind of press around the same time

My parents used to buy cider there at the Hauenstein farm on IN-16 near IN-5... Good stuff!

I am from south India and I learned about cider press from the novel 'The Cider House Rules' by 'John Irving'. This press was amazing. Btw the novel was amazing too.

There's one of these in the UK at bicton botanical gardens. Looks similar in scale but not restored or functional

That's incredible.

Just when I think I have seen everything, they show me a fruit press that can be seen from outer space!
