All programs are the same.

Milton Hershey started with a factory in a cornfield and went on to  create one of the finest industrial towns in America.  Become history detectives as we examine maps, photographs and artifacts from our collection to explore how the town of Hershey has changed over the years to become “the sweetest place on Earth.”

Help us build an ever-growing paper city, construct a building using architectural elements and participate in other hands-on activities to learn why community development is important to build the best possible future. You will also discover unique ways to explore your own community.

Plus, every participant will design and make their own “chocolate town” using milk chocolate, pretzels and marshmallows to take home and enjoy!

$17 for ages 3 and over.
Ages 2 and under are free.
Advanced registration is required here.

The program will last about an hour.  The scavenger hunt takes about 45-60 minutes, so please plan on at least 90 minutes to 2 hours for the full experience.

This program is for homeschooling families.  Private programs are available for groups of 15 or more.  Please contact Elizabeth Lindsay at elalindsay@hersheystory.org or 717.520.5588 with questions or to book a private program.
