From Chocolate to ChildrenThe life of Milton Hershey

Apprentice to a candy maker at 14 years old

Started many businesses before starting Hershey Chocolate

Married Catherine “Kitty” Sweeney in 1898

Kitty and I dedicated our lives to the education and care of underprivileged children

Born in 1857 in Derry Township, PA

Hershey Chocolate became the biggest candy company in history

I went back to Derry Township and built a factory and town which became Hershey, PA

The Hershey School Trust now has over $6 Billion, guaranteeing a great education for the children of Hershey…Forever!

Thank you!
