Milton S. Hershey Mansion, National Historic Landmark mansion in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Milton S. Hershey Mansion is a limestone house in Hershey, Pennsylvania, built in the Colonial Revival style. The structure features a two-story portico supported by Ionic columns, a hipped roof, and four chimneys positioned at the corners.
The house was built in 1908 as the residence of chocolate maker Milton Hershey and his wife Catherine. It remained their home until Milton's death in 1945, marking the end of the family's occupation.
The rooms inside show how wealthy people lived in the early 1900s, with details like an octagonal breakfast room and a curved entry hall that reflect the tastes of that era. These spaces reveal the daily habits and comforts that mattered to families of that time.
The house can be visited only through group tours that take place on Saturday mornings and last around an hour. Since spots fill quickly, it helps to plan ahead and check availability before arriving.
From its elevated location, the house offers direct views of the original chocolate factory that Milton built down the hill. This vantage point connects the private home to the industrial story that shaped the town.
