We were…read moresupposed to visit the Hershey Story Museum but ended up at the Hershey Historic Museum instead--a rookie mistake due to the similar names. It turned out to be a great surprise! The staff was incredibly friendly, and there's no admission fee if you're just shopping at their local vendor market, which takes place on Sundays. We got to browse unique local goods while also learning about the town's history and how it evolved into what it is today. The museum has plenty of parking, clean bathrooms, and a really cool model train display. Definitely worth a visit!

Came here to check out the annual train display after receiving a tip from a local. Upon entering…read morethe museum, you'll find a volunteer sitting to the right of the doors. After signing in and making a suggested donation ($1/child, $2/adult, $5/family), we made our way to the train room. I was pleasantly surprised about how large the train display was. There was about 8 trains roaming around a large table that contained a mini city within the display. I loved how there were activity buttons around the table that activated trains, amusement rides, people, and other items. I learned from one of the volunteers there that individuals would start making the display in October for their opening in mid-November. It was also cool to know that these trains were all made between the 1930s and the 1960s. The museum, which was pretty small, also had several smalls rooms that displayed hockey memorabilia and dress up fun for kids. If you have a child(ren) that loves trains, or you loves trains yourself, I highly recommend checking this annual display out.

The museum was pretty cool, even the gift shop. It was sort of a pit stop on our road trip. It was cool to learn about the chocolate that some people I know (including myself) was obsessed with growing up.

This is a nice stop to make while you're here in Hershey! I wouldn't add extra time to my trip to…read morecome here, but it's great if you already have the time. The museum is nice but I enjoyed the additional experiences more. The museum cost me $16 and has some cool information about Milton Hershey's life. It has a few historical items, like Hershey's crib and his White Star ticket receipt. There are a few interactive exhibits that I think would keep a kid's attention. It mostly summarizes Hershey's time and his impact in the town he created. If I had limited time I would skip the museum and do the extra activities instead. The drinking chocolate tasting feels like a secret and was so fun! It cost me $13 and it comes with six different drinking chocolates from around the world. It's fun and delicious to try them all! I also did an experience in the Chocolate Lab. It cost $16 (although I got a combo museum- Chocolate Lab ticket for $28). You sit with your group at different tables and wear an apron and a hair net. You make a small chocolate item- we just poured chocolate into a mold and added sprinkles. Then the hosts give a great educational talk about how chocolate is made and answers questions. It's very informative and for the price I thought it was a steal! If you come, I would evaluate all of the options and don't feel like you have to do them all. However, for the prices any of them are a good value.

We appreciated the…read morefamily deal as a family of 5 with 2 adults and 3 students that saved us a little on admission. The museum itself is beautiful, clean, well maintained and we practically had the place to ourselves which was really neat and also a little creepy sometimes lol There was definitely moments that were heavy to soak in especially at the beginning of the exhibits. They are portraying moments in our history to put things into perspective, the mindset to understand the times so that you can experience the rest of the chronological exhibits. Overall, highly recommend especially for middle school aged and up and especially if you plan to also visit Gettysburg.

I can not say enough good things about this historical society. We did not even know there was an…read morehistorical society in town, but as we are history buffs, when we saw the sign we decided to stop in and I am so very glad we did. I had a bit of a hard time opening the door - seems it sticks - but the sign said it was open, and when someone inside heard me trying to get in, they opened the door for me. If you go, and the door sticks, give it a good strong push! We were given a lovely the tour of the building where we learned about the history of the town and the building as well as about their genealogy archives. If you are looking ancestors from PA, perhaps these folks can help. It's quite a large collection and the archivist keeps the records up to date. Being close to civil war battlefields, the city has had plenty of brushes with the war. Civil war fans will want to stop here, and probably do. Whether you know about the town, or you do not, you should make some time to stop in and speak with these folks. They love what they are doing, and have good information on the part this town played in history. There is a small gift shop there and, if you appreciate the work they are doing to preserve history, leaving a small donation would be a very thoughtful gesture, although one is not required to visit. They are happy to help.

The only reason I visited Lotus was due to the website showing wholesale options. When I got to…read morethe store, I learned the only option for wholesale was 'not this close to the 4th of July'. I overheard another customer asking about cases and the employee stated that he did not think the owner would sell a case this close to the holiday. No mention of this on the website. This explains why the owner is misleading people because he cannot compete with Phantom and Keystone without his version of the 'wholesale' bait-and-switch. Considering the size of the store, I doubt he ever sells 'wholesale', probably due to 'supply' issues. Remember, this is a retail store, just like Phantom and Keystone, but you spend more for less because they are so big, they can give you better retail deals. The only way to beat them is true wholesale. P.S. The employee running the counter was nice and professional. Also, to be fair, the selection based on the size of the store was good.

As far as going to this American Legion in Linglestown, I would highly recommend not going. This was my experience. Arrived around 3 pm, waited at the service bar for at least 10 minutes without an acknowledgement that the bartender-we had eye contact- would be over. Finally after showing my American Legion card and my friend's driver's license we were served. Bartender was not a pleasant person. We did not feel welcome at all. I have been to this American Legion before as I visit my family in the area. Every visit has been a bad experience. Take my advice and go to the American Legion in Hummelstown or Hershey. There are some nice people there.
