A new full color guide featuring the visitor’s center at the Neosho National Fish Hatchery is now available in Neosho.
In a welcome letter Neosho mayor Richard Davidson, visitors are invited to visit the Square, enjoy the city parks, tour the town’s murals and visit the hatchery. David Hendrix gives the welcome from the hatchery, inviting people to come to the oldest operating federal hatchery in the nation. He says with the new center, visitorship is expected to more than double, which will be a help to all of Neosho and the surrounding communities.
The guide features more than 50 photographs of the hatchery, many visitors, numerous events and of the work hatchery personnel do. The photographs are exceptional as they tell the story of the hatchery.
The work being done on rainbow trout and pallid sturgeon is explained in the guide and demonstrate the science and physical work being done. A bit about the construction of this unusual building is included and views of the construction project in progress are shown.
A section titled “Features at the Neosho National Fish Hatchery” gives a list of things to see and do at the hatchery; including feeding the fish, picnicking, hiking the grounds, as well as attending the open house and attending camp and education programs. It is also noted that the hatchery is an official weather station and keeps the high and low temperatures each day for Neosho. In the meeting rooms, the hatchery also hosts fisheries seminars and programs conducted by national and state fisheries groups.
Several very popular photographs of the old hatchery building are also included.
The visitor center is the only building in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to be designated a Gold Level LEED building. This means it was built with the latest energy efficiency materials, and uses energy efficiency heat pumps and solars fuels for heating and cooling.
The visitor’s guide will be distributed at welcome centers along the major roadways and interstate highways, and will be placed in chamber offices in neighboring towns and in commercial businesses that cater to travelers.
