 "Deep Winter Blues" Concert

Saturday February 21 at the Hagood Mill Historic Site & Folklife Center

 

     Come join the friends of the Pickens County Museum as "Music in the Mountains 2009" continues with the Hagood Mill playing host for a free acoustic blues concert, Saturday, February 21 from 12:00 until 3:00 in the Visitor Building at the Hagood Mill. Hosted by SC Folk Heritage Award winning guitarist Steve McGaha and featuring the fabulous harmonica of Freddie Vanderford, this is sure to be a treat not to miss. They will be performing a variety of traditional folk and blues music. It's called "the blues," but a lot of it is down-right foot-tapping happy... and these two guys are two of the State's best proponents! Seating is limited and first come, first seated. The site will be open from 10:00 until 4:00 with the old gristmill running and a variety of folklife demonstrations.

 

     Hagood Mill operates just as it has for the last century-and-a-half. In the old mill, fresh stone-ground corn meal, grits and wheat flour will be available, as well as Hagood Mill cookbooks and a variety of other mill related items. 

 

     Each month the Hagood Mill hosts a variety of folklife and traditional art demonstrations that often include blacksmithing, bowl-digging, flintknapping, chair-caning, moonshining, broom-making, quilting, spinning, knitting, weaving, woodcarving, open-hearth cooking, musical instrument building and more! Hagood Mill's 1890 Cotton Gin will run several times throughout the day.

 

     There promises to be lots to do and lots of fun! So, head on out, grab a plate of Barbeque or a hot dog and enjoy a day at the Mill. Show your support for the Mill and the Pickens County Museum by joining them at this monthly Third Saturday event. The Hagood Mill operates, rain or shine, the third Saturday of every month and is located just 3 miles north of Pickens or 5 ½ miles south of Cherokee Foothills Scenic Hwy 11 off SC Hwy 178 at 138 Hagood Mill Road. Hagood Mill is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 until 4:00, to tour the buildings and grounds and to visit the Mill Site Gift Shop.
