Does the Pickens County Museum run the historic Hagood Mill?
Yes . The Hagood Mill Site & Folklife Center is located about three miles north of downtown Pickens off Hwy 178 on Hagood Mill Road. Originally built circa 1825 and as it stands today circa 1845. It is one of the oldest known surviving gristmills still producing grain products (flour, cornmeal and grits) in South Carolina. Mark your calendars for the third Saturday of each month as, rain or shine, the Mill will be open and operating. During this third Saturday, our visitors will enjoy a very special treat as groups of dedicated traditional artisans volunteer their time demonstrating quilting, spinning, carving, blacksmithing, flint-knapping and many other traditional arts and living histories. Combine these activities with a host of local musicians and a good time is to be had by all! ***Please remember, The Hagood mill site is a Heritage & Nature Preserve. When enjoying the site, please leave it as you found it. No specimen collecting is permitted.
