Milton Hershey

Milton Hershey

Milton Hershey—the man who started it all—established The Hershey Company and left behind a sweet legacy. When he built his factory, he also established the town of Hershey and used his fortune over the years to invest in the community and his namesake school. His legacy lives on today in generations of lives he's touched through his philanthropy.
