Our new American Heritage programs offer students unique, hands-on experiences. Using authentic artifacts, students can discover Native American or Pennsylvania German cultures.

Students explore the exhibits and enjoy the many interactive experiences throughout the museum on a variety of curriculum-themed hunts.

Chocolate making is a sweet recipe for learning about art and science! The Chocolate Lab offers participatory classes such as molding, dipping and even making chocolate from scratch. Located on the main floor, it is inspired by Milton Hershey’s own candy-making apprenticeship and his flair for experimentation. The Chocolate Lab explores the unique qualities of chocolate through playful, hands-on experiences on a variety of subjects including geography, history, economics and science.
