S1 E35 - Exploring Hershey & Harrisburg, PA: Campground Life, Markets, Museums, and Milton Hershey School

We cover three-weeks near Hershey, Pennsylvania - the Sweetest Place on Earth. Thousand Trails Hershey was first rate - despite being in the highly visible handicap site placement - with plenty to do, and plenty of nesting geese. A few mediocre restaurants are balanced by a standout brunch at Côte Rouge. Yarn store, fabric stores, and the historic Broad Street Market all get a visit along with the disappointing National Civil War Museum and Hershey’s Chocolate World tour that’s not REALLY a tour. All capped off with Louise’s recollections of being one of the first girls admitted to the Milton S. Hershey School. Spoiler: It was not a great time.
