Hershey Story

Amusements and chocolate have made Hershey a beloved destination in Pennsylvania, but if you want to discover how Milton Hershey created jobs during the Great Depression, supported U.S. troops during the major wars of the 20th century, and brought culture and entertainment to the town that bears his name, then a visit to The Hershey Story Museum is a must. Explore timelines tracing Milton Hershey’s journey—from opening his third factory to the moment E.T. catapulted Reese’s Pieces to fame as the #1 candy-coated chocolate. The museum features an original working Hershey Kiss machine, along with high-tech exhibits that bring history to life. One of the museum’s highlights is the Chocolate Lab, where guests can participate in hands-on classes like tempering, molding, dipping, and even making chocolate from scratch. Be sure to arrive early to reserve your spot—classes fill up quickly! Your trip to Hershey wouldn’t be complete without experiencing The Hershey Story—the town’s premier museum, where history, innovation, and sweet treats come together in one unforgettable visit.
