PENNSYLVANIA FISH HATCHERY
13365 ROUTE 6    CORRY, PA  16407
(814) 664-2122

Wayne Township's own Fish Hatchery was the second created in Pennsylvania (the first in eastern Pennsylvania lasted only a handful of years in the 1800's before the water source dried up).  It was the first hatchery in western Pennsylvania, is the longest continuously operated hatchery in the state, and served as a prototype for the expansion of hatcheries across the Commonwealth.  The fish hatchery is operated by the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission.

The Corry Fish Hatchery offers scheduled tours Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., by calling Paul or Dan at (814)664-2122.  You may visit www.fish.state.pa.us to gather more information about your local fish hatchery, as well as others in Pennsylvania.

The Roadside Historical Marker (on Route 6) to commemorate the Corry State Fish Hatchery's importance in state history was unveiled & dedicated in July-2010.  The Corry Community Foundation and the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission provided financial support for the PA Historical Marker.  
  
Thanks go to "history buff" Steve Bishop, executive director of the Corry Higher Education Council, for originally submitting the application to the commission.  Research of the Corry Fish Hatchery history was done by Steve Bishop, Jim Nelson, the Corry Area Historical Society & The PA Fish & Boat Commission.
