When many hear the name Hershey, most think of chocolate bars
and candy. However, one man built an entire town around chocolate
and in the process helped many people. Milton Hershey was one of
the few industrialists of his time to make certain that the town
in which his employees worked was also an ideal place for them to
live and raise their families. In addition to employing an entire
town, he provided recreation and an amusement park for his workers
to enjoy away from the factory. Hershey was also a philanthropist
and his legacy of giving is still prominent today. Milton Hershey
is buried, in the town he made famous, at Hershey Cemetery.
