A Historic Building in Delafield, WI.

The Delafield Fish Hatchery is located in Delafield, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981

The fish hatchery was constructed as part of Wisconsin's program to replenish local bodies of water after concerns they were being over-fished. In addition to the building, the grounds included six ponds and more than 1,400 feet of pipe line. The building featured two interior concrete tanks. Fish that were bred on the site include walleye and bass.

The hatchery served its original purpose until 1953, when it was converted into a research center. In 1980, the state deeded the site to the city and has since been used for public recreation.
