After the Southampton History Museum notified the nonprofit Conscience Point Shellfish Hatchery that it has to vacate its home at the Conscience Point Historic Site in North Sea, there was an outcry from supporters of the hatchery, and a number of museum board resignations. The museum defended the move, asserting that the hatchery was conducting commercial sales and subletting boat slips, which could jeopardize the museum's nonprofit status. However, now the Town of Southampton historian has found documents that question whether the museum actually owns the parcel where the hatchery sits. It could be that the hatchery is on town-owned land, and the museum has no right to evict it. Reporter Michael Wright joins the editors on the podcast this week to discuss the hatchery saga.
