Hagood Mill, a grist mill bought in 1825 by Benjamin Hagood and rebuilt in 1845 by his son James Earle Hagood, was commercially operated until 1966 and features a 20-ft. waterwheel, one of the largest in S.C. James E. Hagood, a planter and merchant, served in the S.C. House and was longtime Pickens District and U.S. district clerk of court. The mill was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In 2003, prehistoric Native American rock carvings called petroglyphs, long buried under a 19th century road, were discovered there and preserved in place; featuring 17 human figures and other carvings, they are among the most significant of their kind in S.C.
