_The Chocolate Town is less than an hour’s drive from Lancaster._
Center of an industry, world famous resort and tourist attraction, haven
for orphaned boys, sports and recreation center, this prosperous
community welcomes an ever-increasing number of visitors annually.

Certainly no one could deny that to millions the world over the name
Hershey is synonymous with chocolate. However, a visit to the unique
town of Hershey will convince you that the name of one of America’s
great industrial geniuses stands for many other things—and not the least
of these is charity.
There is much to see and do in The Chocolate Town. One can enjoy a
guided tour of the Hershey factory, a visit to the Museum, the
facilities of the Amusement Park, a swim in the pool or the animals in
The Zoo. He can golf, go boating, listen to the free concerts or stroll
in the gardens.
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
_Just fifty miles west of Lancaster, on Route 30, this historic
college town is visited by some 800,000 people each year._
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the place where one President spoke and
another resided, represents many things to many people. To some there is
the thrill of identification, as they view the 2300 markers and
monuments on the Battlefield, where men from 25 states reached heights
of bravery that have seldom been equalled.
For many, Gettysburg’s fine museums hold great attraction. The National
Museum, with the world’s largest collection of Civil War articles,
houses the famed electric map. The Hall of Presidents depicts the
history of the nation “as told by the Presidents themselves.”
