Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station

The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station encompasses research facilities, laboratories, and experimental gardens across a 6-acre campus in New Haven.

Established in 1875 as the first state agricultural experiment station in the United States, this institution pioneered scientific research in agricultural chemistry.

Scientists at the station made groundbreaking discoveries about amino acids in human nutrition and contributed to the development of hybrid corn varieties.

Visitors can access the station's resources for soil testing, plant disease diagnosis, tick identification, and mosquito surveillance throughout the year.

The Osborne Library, built in 1882, stands as the earliest structure constructed specifically for a state agricultural experiment station in the United States.
