The Man Behind America's Sweet Tooth, Milton Hershey

On this episode of Our American Stories, an American candy store in 1900 looked very different than it does today. Candy was a special treat sold almost exclusively in candy stores. Chocolate was sold in Europe and only a very few affluent Americans had ever tried it. Here to tell the story is Don Papson, President and Executive Director at The M.S. Hershey Foundation and Amy Zeigler, Sr. Director of The Hershey Story Museum. Support the show (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
