milk, moved to New York City, opened a candy business there but it also
failed.


Still not discouraged, he moved back to Lancaster, PA and opened up another
candy shop. This time he was successful!!!!

In 1893, at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Milton discovered
the art of chocolate making. He had machines shipped to Lancaster to make
chocolate coating for his caramels.

Because the demand for chocolate was growing at this time, Milton created
the Hershey Chocolate Company and began perfecting his chocolate recipe
containing the perfect mixture of milk, cocoa and sugar.

The Hershey bar was soon shipped all over the country and enjoyed by
millions of people, not just the wealthy.

 In the early 1900’s Milton decided to sell his caramel
company and focus primarily on making chocolates.
 In order to expand, he needed a place that had
farming with cows (for the milk), hardworking people,
and close proximity to ports to ship in his cocoa and
sugar. He settled in Derry Township!
 Below is a link of a Derry Township Map from 1870.

 This is a link to a song called They All Laughed by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis
Armstrong. The theme of the song is about going after what you want, not
matter how far fetched or challenging it can be. The song mentions several
people who created or invented things that we enjoy regularly. They mention
Hershey and his chocolate bars. it's amazing to see and hear him grouped
with such famous inventors.
