==History==
The mill currently known as Hagood Mill was built in 1845 by James Hagood. It remained in the family until it was transferred to the Pickens County Museum Commission in 1971.〔 The mill operated until the 1960s. In the 1970s, restoration of the mill began. Operation of the mill was restarted in 1996. The mill is now the centerpiece of the Hagood Mill Historic Site & Folklife Center. It is open on the third Saturday of each month and is in operation.
The mill history starts with Bailey Anderson who built a mill on the site of the existing mill before 1793. William Jennings purchased the mill about 1793. He died about 1803 and his widow, Dicey Jennings and her son John Robert Jennings then owned and operated the mill. Dicey remarried to Joshua Smith. Around 1821- 1822 Joshua Smith starts putting up property for Public Sale and this is contested by the son, John Robert Jennings. Sheriff Enoch Benson is called in to sell the land and mill with the court of Equity lawsuit being contested. This is around 1823. Certainly by 1825 the property is Benjamin Hagood's and a property conveyance dated January 10th, 1825 shows the mill and pond as it was originally, with the pond very close to the mill, not 1/4 mile away as the existing mill's pond was situated. The mill itself is in the same location.
Land transfer records show the same site as Anderson Mill or Andrewson Mill Creek in 1793 and up till 1821. The site and creek are referred to as Jennings Mill, or Widow Jinings old mill, or Jennings Mill Creek in 1810 up to 1882. The site is known as Hagood Mill as early as 1838 in land conveyances.〔Hagood Mill and Its Related History by the Pickens County Historical Commission, Jerry W Hughes, March 1999〕
