The Sweetest Place on Earth®

Getting around in traffic or in small areas is often easier while separated so sometimes I drive the toad, aka Jeep behind Kathy in the RV.  This was the case while touring about Hersey, PA.  Amidst the beautiful rolling farm lands, Hersey is a mid-sized town built on the chocolate industry developed there.

The quaint historic downtown is beautiful.  It is clean, well maintained and decorated to enhance the tourist atmosphere.  Here you find the Hersey Story, the museum on Chocolate Avenue.  I highly recommend visiting it.  You might even earn your stripes as a chocolate worker by learning about the Hersey processes through interactive demonstrations.  

Just in case the kids drag you to the amusement park first make sure you take the free ride through the factory.  You’ll see the packaging on the assembly line as you learn while riding on a mousey ride through the tunnel of chocolate.

Lastly, plan on how much chocolate you can take home with you as they have many delights for purchase in the store.  Tastings are available as well so try some of the more unique flavors not offered in all locations.  My new favorite macadamia nut and dark chocolate!
