The Hershey Story, Chocolate museum on Chocolate Avenue, Hershey, US.

The Hershey Story is located on Chocolate Avenue and documents Milton Hershey's chocolate manufacturing innovations and business development through interactive exhibits. The displays explain how he transformed chocolate from an expensive luxury into something affordable for ordinary people.

Milton Hershey founded his chocolate factory in 1894 and developed innovative milk processing methods that made chocolate affordable for many people. These inventions fundamentally changed the confectionery industry and launched his expanding business.

The museum tells how Milton Hershey built an entire town around his factory, creating schools, parks, and community spaces that shaped local life. These places still reflect his vision of caring for the people who worked for him.

The museum provides free parking in an attached garage and offers combination tickets with Hershey Gardens nearby. Military personnel receive complimentary admission with a valid ID.

Visitors can participate in chocolate laboratory sessions where instructors demonstrate different production techniques using cocoa beans from various countries. This hands-on experience reveals how bean origin affects the flavor and quality of the final product.
