Occurrence Remarks: The Ozark Trout Farm near Johnson, built in 1940, was a tourist attraction for the town. Located north of the Johnson Mill is a large spring out of which flowed fifty-six-degree water year round. Roy Brumfield leased the spring from the Johnson family and built a hatchery and raceways. Under new ownership in the postâ€"World War II years, the farm shipped fresh trout to large hotel restaurants in the East. A 1971 gasoline spill in the underground stream feeding the spring, however, killed off the entire stock of fish. encyclopediaofarkansas.net
