The Hershey Story, the Museum on
Chocolate Avenue opens December 2008!

Please note: Hershey Museum is closing September 2.

Students will find that learning is sweet at The Hershey Story! We are proud to introduce a variety of great, new programs to align with Pennsylvania curriculum standards. These programs reach far beyond history to include reading, math, economics, science, technology, geography, civics, government and even career education. What’s more, the active hands-on nature of these organized programs will make learning at The Hershey Story fun and memorable in a unique way that can't be provided in a classroom.

Students are sure to love the Chocolate Lab at The Hershey Story. Inspired by Milton Hershey’s talent for experimentation, these participatory classes and demonstrations will offer students of all ages a fun way to learn.

"What's Cooking at Hershey Museum"

May 1 through June 11
Grades 1 through 5

Take a taste of history! No matter where or when they have lived, all people need to eat. Learning about historic food and cooking is a unique way of peeking into the past that children will never forget. Your students’ taste buds and imaginations will help bring history to life during special activities led by our volunteer teachers.

Tour Specifics

The tour is designed for classroom-size groups of about 25 students. Classes from different schools may share the same tour, but your class will remain together in its own group.

Please be on time or several minutes early. We will most likely skip or shorten a tour section if you are not here by the time you have reserved. During the tour we will offer the students small samples of chocolate to taste. Please inform us of any dietary restrictions.

Please contact Sharon Smith at ssmith@hersheymuseum.org or 717-520-5722 to make reservations.
