Hershey’s Chocolate Memories

Milton Hershey was at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago and was greatly influenced by a demonstration he viewed of German made chocolate processing machinery. This process inspired him to start a chocolate company. He opened Hershey’s in 1903 at a factory in Derry Township, Pennsylvania. It became the world’s largest chocolate manufacturing plant.
