Project Description

This project will examine the philanthropic legacy of Milton S. Hershey. The founder of Hershey's Chocolate Company had no heirs so he gave away his entire fortune for the benefit of the orphans at the private school which he and his wife founded and to the town which bears his name. It's an unusual and amazing story.
