Title
State opens Trout Hatchery in Cold Spring Harbor
What occurred
In 1883 New York State created the Trout Hatchery in Cold Spring Harbor. The Hatchery used the natural springs of Cold Spring Harbor in order to bring in freshwater that gave the fish oxygen to survive. The Hatchery was created by the State in order to raise fish that they would later use to fill the Harbor, but served a second purpose as a tourist destination, which it still is to this day.
