| | Event: | SSS-08 Milton Hershey: Chocolatier | | Dates: | 5/1 | | Time: | 1:00 to 3:00 | | Category: | Spring2025-SingleSession | | Location: | Zoom Teleconference | | Presenter: | Mallory Howard, Assistant Curator, Mark Twain House and Museum | In his formative years Milton Hershey was expected to make it as a farmer or perhaps a printer. Little did people know he would go on to become the world's most famous chocolatier. Learn about how he built the Hershey Company, his involvement in philanthropy, his close call with an early grave, and the legacy he left behind. Hershey is a monumentally recognized company today, but most don't know about the man that started it all. Was his life as dreamy as his chocolate or was it perhaps...bittersweet?
