The McGee Mule Barn is a structure of great historic value for Anderson County. The McGee family ran a highly successful business out of this barn, exporting mules, the tractors of their day, across SC and the South. There is even an office inside where literal “stock traders” ran the mule business prior to WWII. This office, as well as the tack room, will be reproduced as found, in its historic state. The rest of the barn, currently a wide-open area where hundreds of mules were kept awaiting shipment across the South, will be utilized as a mixed-use space; with historic interpretation and agribusiness in symbiosis. As you walk through the barn, you can feel the weight of its history, and we are honored to be part of such a significant rebuilding of a historic structure.
