This exhibition traces the tumultuous events of 1968: a single year in history that rocked the foundations of American society.

1968 in America features four major themes, including the Power of Idealism, the Power of Music, the Power of the Bullet, and the Power of the Press. Visitors will experience a variety of artifacts including photographs, magazine covers, political memorabilia, textiles, record albums, and other objects that explore this pivotal moment in American history.

This was also a time of great change in Hershey. Explore The Hershey Company’s decision to embark on a national media advertising campaign and learn about the enrollment of Milton Hershey School’s first non-white students. Visitors can experience this significant time and its effect on our local community through rarely seen video, artifacts and oral histories.
