Welcome To Hershey

Many years ago, the words "Welcome To Hershey" were spelled out on the hill in front of Senior Hall at the Milton Hershey School. Over the years, they had become sorely unattended and finally were removed back in the early 1970's.

To celebrate 100 years of the Hershey Kiss and Hershey Park, the school decided to redo the letters this year. The school provided the labor to dig out the area and volunteer groups worked in one hour shifts to replicate the original sign. These groups included civic organizations, school groups and interested community residents and business people.

The result is displayed in the photo attached. This was taken from the Kissing Tower at Hershey Park.

The building behind is the former Senior Hall, to reopen in August 2007 as the middle school campus for the Milton Hershey School
