What we offer
Explore the Hershey History Center
We are open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 10am to 3pm. The Hershey History Center (Home of the Hershey-Derry Township Historical Society since 1991) provides a history of the Hershey community over the past 150 years. Explore the permanent exhibits at your own pace. Visitors can even enhance the museum experience by picking up a map for a self-guided digital audio tour for use with a mobile device, such as a smartphone. Kids age 7 to 12 can try our scavenger hunt-- a fun activity for all ages!
Find a variety of resources for research on a range of topics related to Derry Township and Hershey. Independent research in the Library can be conducted by scheduling an appointment to visit. Please call 717-520-0748 or contact us by email at research@hersheyhistory.org ahead of your visit to maximize your time.
