Hershey, PA is named after Milton S. Hershey who grew up in Derry, PA and became the Willy Wonka of this time. After 4th grade he dropped out of school to start an internship with the Lancaster Caramel company...every child's dream. He soon started his own candy company in Philadelphia and ended up going bankrupt 4 times before finding success with Hershey Chocolate.
As he built on his factory he also built on his employees. Hershey envisioned a complete new community around his factory. He built a model town for his employees that included comfortable homes, an inexpensive public transportation system, a quality public school system and extensive recreational and cultural opportunities. In 1909, unable to have children of their own, Hershey and his wife, Catherine, established a school for orphan boys that today is known as the Milton S. Hershey School. In 1918, three years after Catherine's death, Milton Hershey endowed the school with $60 Million Dollars of Hershey Chocolate Company stock. He was a great asset to these boys and this town and would do anything for them! Today the town of Hershey is a great place to go for family fun activities at Hershey Park, for a historical aspect on the tours and museums of the towns and for a Cany lovers dream! There is something for everyone in this town from the park, museum, gardens and a devine chocolate spa!

Hershey Pennsylvania was our next pit stop to help break up the long drive from New York to Florida. As you may have guessed, Hershey is the home to Hershey Chocolate. The company has built Hersheypark as a leisure park for their employees in the early 1900's. Then, they decided to open the park to the public. The park itself features 60 rides and attractions including 10 roller coasters. Since the opening of the park Hershey has also built a museum, ...

So we headed out of Philly with my GPS at hand around 11:30 or so... because you know... it should take a half hour to get there. Well, we start driving and I nod off because I've been tired and we get to the point that we have to get off the exit to head towards hershey. We get off and get into the town of Hershey and according to the GPS unit we should turn right onto some road. My aunt says, no no no... the signs point this way... as she points straight. Yeah... the...

Hershey is a small town with a lot of muscle--it's got the best hospital of Central PA, the amusement park, the main sports team and the big concert venue--and all that thanks to the Hershey Empire--even the streets are named after chocolate bars! So even though Hershey isn't in "bold type" on the map--I figured it's a definite must as a parkbenching destination.
Enjoyed walking the streets... a lot of old houses--but no signs of decay anywhere. I guess being a subject of a ...

A couple friends and I flew to Ohio, drove to Baltimore and DC, back through Kentucky and hit a couple of rollercoaster parks. I love rollercoasters!
