NEOSHO, Mo. — A string of vandalism means changes for the Neosho National Fish Hatchery.
The hatchery announced today (Tuesday) that all pedestrian and vehicle gates will now be locked between 4:30 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
Staff tell us vandalism has been getting worse over the past several months.
They’ve noticed more graffiti and particularly racial slurs on the property.
A trash can recently burned, and a window was also recently broken.
The changes are for the safety of patrons, and they hope more people will visit while staff are present.
