Hershey Industrial School
Hershey Industrial School was Revolutionary
The Hershey Industrial School was truly an act out of Milton Hershey's kind heart. He started the school not only to help orphaned boys get a good education, but to fill the gap in his heart because his wife Kitty could not bear children. At the end of his life, Milton Hershey put his whole entire fortune into the Hershey Industrial School, a grand total of a whopping $60,000,000. This generous donation made Hershey Industrial School one of the most well funded charities at the time. Today the school has helped numerous students get back on their feet and to the life that they deserve. Way to go Mr. Hershey!
