I almost missed this one. On this day in 1857 in the town of Derry Church, Pennsylvania, Milton Snavely Hershey was born. Read about his remarkable career as an entrepreneur, a social engineer, an educator, and a philanthropist here. Today his legacy lives on in the town of Hershey, the ubiquitous Hershey candy, the Hershey school, the Hershey Foundation, the Hershey Medical Center, the Hershey Theater, the Hershey Museum, and many more continuing institutions. Few men have done so much for so many.
