Hagood Mill, which is 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.
