Milton Hershey, born of mennonite parents combined
his parents 17th Century work ethic with 20th Century
technology when he built a factory northwest of
Lancaster on Route 283 where he also built a town
and eventually a huge complex dedicated to
chocolate.
Although raised by Mennonite parents, Hershey
embraced the machine age and put the latest 1905
technology to work near a source of abundant fresh
milk to become our favorite chocolateer.
With his fortunes from chocolate, he built an antique
automobile collection, a huge amusement park, a zoo,
and a 23-acre rose garden for his wife.
Visitors can take trolley rides through the town on
streets named Chocolate Ave and Hershey Drive,
each lined by street lamps in the shape of the Hershey
Kiss. A highlight for kids might be the tour of a
simulated factory complete with animated cows that
sport boas and croon a hip-hop opus to milk.
While it is unlikely that Mr. Hershey would have chosen
the musical accompaniment for the factory tour, he
was an innovator; the factory now processes one
million pounds of milk chocolate daily and ships 80
million Hershey Kisses each day throughout the world.
In fact everything in town says chocolate and this
includes a spa treatment at the Hotel Hershey where
you can wash away your travel aches immersed in
warm slurry of rich therapeutic chocolate.
