The archivists of the Pickens County Historical Society are currently looking for any documents, original letters, photographs, maps, or anything related to the history of the Hagood Mill Historic Site, the Hagood-Mauldin House Museum, and the Pickens County Historical Society. Additional files are being created for these that will be maintained in the new research room known as the Judge’s Office at the Hagood-Mauldin House on Lewis Street in uptown Pickens. Once organized, this facility will be open to the public in the coming months. According to the PCHS Chief Genealogist Anne Sheriff, it is critical that this information be gathered from the public, researched, organized, and properly stored for everyone to access now and in the years to come. “You and your family probably treasure these things that you have, but we have seen all too often that eventually, especially after someone’s passing, they are simply thrown away and lost forever.” If you have any such documentary material, please contact the Pickens County Historical Society at [email protected] or 864.878.1322. We will make copies for you or, if you want to keep the originals for whatever reason, we will make copies for our files. Your help is greatly appreciated.

The Hagood-Mauldin House Museum and grounds are open to the public for free tours each third Saturday of the month April through October. To arrange private tours, simply call 864.878.1322.
