Morning light pours across East Chocolate Avenue as a bright red trolley hums to life outside the Hershey History Center. You climb aboard, the leather seats still warm, and the guide’s voice fills the carriage with local lore while the town unfolds through steamed windows—cream-colored row houses, small-town storefronts, and the occasional scent of baking that seems to drift from every corner.
