Pickens, South Carolina – Hagood Mill

Denise Campbell of Pickens took this shot of the Hagood Mill in October 2004.

She writes: "A Saturday spent with church friends led us to the Historic Hagood Mill in Pickens. It was a day the mill was running and many people were there enjoying the day. Being at the mill took us back into a time period we knew nothing of but thoroughly enjoyed and respected."

Hagood Mill, managed by the Pickens County Cultural Commission, is an 1845 gristmill and one of the Upstate's historical and cultural treasures. It closed its doors in the 1960s and made it on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. After an extensive restoration, it reopened as a museum and working mill in 1997.

Hagood Mill is located at 640 Hagood Mill Road, which is three miles north of the town of Pickens on SC 178. For more historical information and other great pictures of the mill, visit this page on the Hagood Mill.
