Constructed in early 1900, the White Sulphur Springs National Fish Hatchery (NFH) was built to take advantage of the natural springs for which the town is named.

The hatchery raises rainbow trout and has an on-going research program intended to restore wild freshwater mussel populations in the Ohio River.
