The Hershey Story, The Museum on Chocolate Avenue is devoted to the history and legacy of Milton S. Hershey and the chocolate candy confections he invented. It is located at 63 West Chocolate Avenue in downtown Hershey, Pennsylvania, and opened in January 2009.
The interactive Museum Experience chronicles Milton Hershey's life, businesses, community and philanthropies. The Chocolate Lab explores the unique qualities of chocolate through playful, hands-on experiences. The Apprentice Program provides children with activities to complete throughout the Museum Experience. Countries of Origin Chocolate Tasting allows visitors to sample single-origin, warm drinking chocolates from around the world. It opened after the closure of the original Hershey Museum located adjacent to Hersheypark in late 2008.
