Hagood Mill Historic Site

This is one of the best historical sites I've ever been to. We will be coming back soon and we'll make sure it's on a date when this mill is open. I think they still make corn mill here. This place is still in very good condition. Hopefully they'll continue to keep it up in such good condition.

There has been a grist mill operating on the property since 1792. The current mill has been in operation since 1845. Fresh yellow/white grits, yellow and white cornmeal, wheat and rye oats amoung other delectables available in the gift shop. The mill grounds these products during special events held the 3rd Saturday of each month. There are many other attractions to see while here. Historic cabins and the Petroglyph Center are other highlights of the Hagood Mill Historical Site. They also have an 18 hole disc golf course. Hours of operation: 10-4pm Wednesday- Saturday.

Absolutely love this place! I am a photographer and have purchase the photography yearly pass for my second year now. This is absolutely one of my most favorite places to shoot. The staff that run this place are absolutely the nicest and caring people you will ever meet.

I love this place. Have been to several of their events and always a good time. And it's just a really cool, interesting place to wander.

I have been wanting to visit Hagood Mill for a while. Who doesn't love a good mill? On the site, they have several buildings besides the mill itself. Most of them are accessible and do have some furnishings to give you an idea of the era. The water wheel of the mill does run and inside the building you can see actual parts of the former mill's processes. Additionally, they have a building with a small museum with some history of the area, and the most interesting things of all, the petroglyphs. There is special lighting and a narrated explanation of what you're looking at. It's fascinating and well done. Of course there is a gift shop on the property and the nice folks there are very informative. Things to consider: you're outdoors between the buildings, with dirt and rocks, so wear sturdy shoes and some insect repellant. If it's a hot day, you need sunscreen and maybe some water. We got really hot, really fast. There are restrooms and handicap access.

This is such a great place to explore. The gift shop is amazing, and the variety of gifts and goods, especially fresh grits and cornmeal, alone is worth the visit. I even learned how to "correctly " spin a top from the shop hostess. Much history, great experience...so much more than is mentioned here. Check it out for yourself!

Our family enjoyed a quiet walk through this historic site on a beautiful fall day. Our dogs even enjoyed the fun.

We participated in the Blacksmithing 101 class with Kevin Thompson as our teacher. The facility was amazing and well maintained. Kevin was an awesome teacher who was very patient and knowledgeable in anything blacksmithing and Bls history.

We had a small class and were ahead of schedule so we had the teachers full attention while we were hammering or standing around letting the metal heat up. We would highly recommend the Blacksmithing classes. Make sure to watch for new classes that they put out quarterly and reserve early!

Edited: Hey, Hagood Mill. I thought I gave you five. Here's the other star. Looking forward to coming back.
I came to the Americana Folk Festival. Entry fee for this event was 5 dollars, but I think it depends on the event. This place is great! Can't believe I've been twenty minutes away and haven't visited in the five years I've lived here. I'll be a frequent flyer. There's always something going on.

It's nice to visit historic sights especially when they are still in operation. To get a look back to early American ingenuity at putting water to work to make life easier. They still sell fresh ground products here. When your in the area I suggest you stop in and check the mill out. From the large water wheel to the belt driven machinery it is really something to see. There is also early American cabins and Indian artifacts on display.

A great afternoon picnic area with rich culture teachings all around from the plants to the rock art. Also there is a 9 hole disc golf across the road. We went for a field trip. It is a very cool place and they have chickens and one duck as of now.

Great stop with blacksmith, old mill that is still working. Check the gift shop for grits, soap and hot sauce. Say hello to Pamela in the shop, 3 octave range and great attitude, tell her Alex sent you. Have fun

This place is awesome. All ages can find something to enjoy about this place. The cooler weather helps out with the walking. The monthly activities allows our family to arrange their schedules so that they can attend these events as well. I'm all about family time and this is a wonderful place to do that. Bring a picnic and sit under the trees and feel the cool breeze blow. Its worth the drive if you're not a local.

Visited Fr 5 Aug 2022. An excellent experience. Easy to access. Tremendously informed docents. Some locally made crafts (I bought two pairs of earrings!) Kid friendly; history appreciating adults!
Sure: restrooms clean!
I hope to visit again in fall when there's a gathering of Native Nations.
Come. Walk (easily visited, easy and close in paths.) Learn. Pause and get a few connections of our common history.

What a great spot to visit! We were up in the area to see some of the state parks and kept passing the signs for Hagood Mill and decided to look it up. We love historic sites, and this was great! - an active blacksmith shop, looms and spinning wheels, pottery barn, etc. I especially enjoyed the setup in the mill itself though. Everything looks well taken care of and was a delight to look through. We did the nature trail with kids as young as toddler age. I wasn't sure what to expect with the petroglyph area, but I really thought that was well done also. There is a small museum-type room and in the back is a dark room with the petroglyphs on a large rock with a show done every so often. It is definitely worth watching.

Also, I just want to note that entrance is free. I know they do lots of events, so I can't speak to that. I couldn't find any information about the regular daily price, so in case anyone else is wondering, there isn't one. Only donation boxes placed in a few spots.

We brought a picnic and had lunch at the tables there. All in all it was a great stop for a long morning excursion and I would recommend it!

Very nice day trip. I understand that the 3rd Saturday in November has quite a bit more going on. Interested to see the mill, blacksmith and artifacts. A few vendors there selling crafts. Beautiful scenery.

What a fun hidden gem of the Upstate! I grew up minutes away from here and didn’t know it existed until today. Great educational site for all ages with lots to see and do. My family and I enjoyed our morning exploring the grounds and we look forward to returning for their special events in the future. Big thanks to Pamela in the gift shop for all the information and some great cocoa!

Great atmosphere- friendly folks, educational and historic site

My daughter and I went to the Native American Pow Wow and enjoyed the event tremendously. The presentation were well done and the vendors had a great selection of items on display!

This place is one of the best historical sites that I have seen. It has been kept up very well and it is beautiful. This was our first time visiting here and I was told to come on a Saturday because they have several events going on. I would recommend preparing a picnic basket and have some fun!
