The Hershey Story

2017 New England, Pennsylvania, Road Trip

As we have traveled through the Harrisburg PA area many times we’ve commented that we needed to visit one of these days. Hershey is a legendary chocolate company, a community, and an amusement park. Our personal interest was in the origins of the chocolates that sweetened our childhoods so we visited The Hershey Story Museum to learn how Milton Hershey developed a formula not just for an affordable chocolate for mass consumption but succeeded in selling it to the nation. We shared the experience with an amazing number of other visitors on this Sunday of Labor Day weekend.
