— encountered by Joe Marshall (great-great grandfather of Shelly Schierman–one of Louisburg Cider Mill’s founders), and it became so popular that a new family of sodas was created. Louisburg’s Lost Trail Craft Sodas are brewed at the Cider Mill bottling plant, and the draft style, micro-brewed process ensures smooth and creamy authentic old fashioned flavor.
Lost Trail is our line of products with an Old West theme

— From the journal of Joe Marshall, somewhere off the Santa Fe Trail, May 15, 1848
