Right in the heart of Connecticut’s rolling hills you’ll find Hogan’s Cider Mill which has been producing cider in the same classic method since 1912. 

Patrick Hogan, the son of Irish immigrants started the production of apple cider at the mill in 1912. After their father died in 1917, Richard and Morris Hogan then took over.

  <p>To help keep Oak Haus comfortable and running smoothly:</p>
  <ul>
    <li><strong>Do not open windows on humid/moist days</strong> — excess moisture can cause the doors to swell and become harder to open, and it also makes the AC work harder.</li>
    <li>On <strong>cool, sunny days</strong>, you may open the windows for fresh air instead of running the AC.</li>
    <li>Avoid running ceiling fans at <strong>high speed for long periods</strong> — gentle circulation is best.</li>
    <li>Always <strong>turn off the heat or AC when leaving the apartment</strong>, and be sure to close all windows if the air is on.</li>
    <li>For heating, please keep the thermostat <strong>no higher than 74°F</strong>.</li>
