The Avoca State Fish Hatchery was built in 1819 and first served as a grist mill until 1919, when it was purchased by the DNR, who began building ponds in 1923. The Hatchery stocked Indiana’s waters with fish for years until it was decommissioned by the DNR in 2013 and fell into disrepair.

Bedford Mayor Shawna Girgis, requested Bedford Park Director, Barry Jeskewich, to find a solution to restore this historical location for Lawrence County. Barry Jeskewich partnered with James Farmer, Indiana University Sustaining Hoosier Communities to obtained a grant to preserve this beloved green space for the surrounding community. The grant was awarded to the newly formed Avoca Park and Recreation board in 2019. Avoca State Fish Hatchery was renamed Marshall Township Park and is now in the hands of board and the local community.
