Pickard is an unincorporated community in Sugar Creek Township, Clinton County, Indiana.

It was originally operated at Jefferson in the western part of the county, but James M. Ward, Jack Hill, and Frank McMannis moved it to the new site at a town then called Hillsborough.

[1] In 1851, the old mill was replaced with a steam-powered sawmill, which was also equipped with millstones for grinding wheat and corn.

James Ward laid out Pickard's Mill in 1844 (but never officially platted it) and opened the town's first store.

Robert Boyer was its first blacksmith, Doctors Cooper and Williams its first physicians, and Thomas Puckit the first postmaster.
