Delaware State Park, Children Operating Cider Press, 1994: Children gather around an old-fashioned cider press. One girl loads apples in the hopper. Once ready, the boy assisted by his parent will turn the press which squeezes the apples to produce juice. While today nonalcoholic apple cider is synonymous with autumn, alcoholic cider was historically more common and was even the most popular American alcoholic beverage until the late 1800s.
