What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Anderson Mill is recognized for its vibrant food truck scene and local entertainment options, particularly the Anderson Mill Pub. While it's a residential area, its food parks and pub offer distinct attractions. Some visitors note that it's more of a neighborhood hub than a traditional tourist site.
"I have known this building since late 2002, back then I would have given it a one star rating and said, "kinda junky, should be fixed up". Since then, I've learned about it's history, and it's special place in SC history. My most recent visit, as of this review, was May 9th 2019, it was undergoing restoration, and was stripped completely to it's foundation! Strange to see it like that, after knowing it for 16 years! I can't wait to see how it will look when it is finished, and the water wheels are turning! It's a really peaceful place, especially with the sound of the Tyger River flowing by it! I've seen one star reviews saying, "I couldn't get close to it", here's what to do... Walk across the old bridge until you are on the opposite side of the river, on your right hand side there is a gate, it does not have 'no trespassing' signs, so you're good to cross the gate, go down the trail until you 'do' see 'posted' signs, they are for the sewer system property for the nearby neighborhood, so just before the signs take a right, through some trees, and you have an amazing view from the bedrock embanking the opposite side of the river!"

"Other than snakes it has gotten more beautiful abd still private as new houses have popped up and this spinoff of lawsons fork is their fantastic view and backyard playground. Big rocks are uncovered where once were grassy areas. Much more than i recall. You could dip feet or enjoy a snack and keep dry on the huge rocks. Just mind underneath as snakes are out this time of year. The old mill itself is still there yet no tours and wouldn't suggest going onto private property. You have to be your on judge as far as parking. Theyve tried to keep people iff this yet if not up to no good , shouldn't be a problem. Cows and dung may be upwind or downwind depending . its my private meditation center . was fine until a child or two showed me where i sat snakes popped outta ground! Aaaggghhh shivers me still. And they can bite underwater!"

"Big big big disappointment! Why would this be written up in feeds I have been receiving from Spartanburg when there is NO WAY to get to the place, no place to park, and signs telling you violators will be prosecuted!
I am a HUGE fan of small grist mills and have visited them in many different states. This is the biggest disappointment yet. BTW - I have probably visited well over 100 small grist mills.
Stop writing about this!"
