When Milton Hershey broke ground for his new chocolate factory in Derry Township, his vision was to build a community where residents could enjoy a wonderful quality of life with an abundance of educational, recreational and cultural opportunities. This legacy of generosity lives on today.

We invite you to be a part of Mr. Hershey’s legacy by showing your generosity to the community he built. The M. S. Hershey Foundation is launching a $1.5 million capital campaign to support The Hershey Story–The Museum on Chocolate Avenue. This new world–class museum is an important addition to downtown Hershey and will offer a marvelous learning experience for children and adults alike.

Milton Hershey’s great American story is one of entrepreneurship, vision and philanthropy, all of which will be told by The Hershey Story in a way that is engaging, entertaining and educational. This is a fitting tribute to our town’s founder and supporting this endeavor will be something in which you can take great pride.
