Chocolate Places: Pennsylvania

Mort Rosenblum, author of Chocolate: A Bitter-sweet Saga of Dark and Light, calls Hershey, Pennsylvania, “as American as Old Glory.”

Hershey was founded in 1903 by Milton Hershey, creator of the immortal Hershey Bar, Hershey’s Kisses, and many other all-American treats. He planned the city as a company town, a place where workers in his factory could live wholesome lives while milk and butter for his chocolates were produced in the surrounding countryside. A giant chocolate factory opened in 1905, and the city’s slogan became “The Sweetest Place on Earth.”

Today Hershey is a city, but also a giant fun park. There’s Hersheypark, with sixty-five rides and attractions, including eleven roller coasters. There are shows at theaters and outdoor arenas. There’s the Hershey Bears hockey team, plus the Hershey Gardens, Dutch Wonderland for children, a special area on falconry, and ZooAmerica. Then there are two museums: Hershey’s Chocolate World, which explores how chocolate is made, and the Hershey Story, which tells of Milton Hershey’s life. “All-American” is an understatement. But the once-famous tours of the Hershey chocolate factory are no longer offered.
