5. Founders Hall at the Milton Hershey School
Founders Hall honors Milton Hershey and his wife, Catherine, and their commitment to helping children in need. The Visitors Center is under renovations until late 2022, but when it reopens, travelers will be able to ogle the gorgeous marble interior dome and learn about the history of the Milton Hershey School. Until then, it’s worth a stop at this ceremonious monument, an iconic structure and symbol in Hershey. Reviewers say the grounds alone are worth exploring.
Address: 1201 Homestead Lane, Hershey, PA 17033
6. The Hershey Story Museum
Of course, there’s no better place to learn about Hershey than The Hershey Story Museum, where exhibits include Failures to Fortune, which tells the story of Milton Hershey’s childhood, apprenticeships, business failures and successes; Sweet Innovations, where you can see some of the equipment used in the original chocolate factory; and the Power of Promotion, which shows how Hershey came to be the beloved candy brand it is today. The Hershey Story Museum also offers a hands-on Chocolate Lab and seasonal chocolate tastings. Reviewers say this place is a must-see when in Hershey.
