In 1893, the World’s Fair in Chicago introduced Americans to innovations that would shape the modern world—among them, chocolate-making technology that would forever change Milton S. Hershey’s future. While attending the fair, Hershey encountered European chocolate machinery that inspired him to shift his focus from caramel to chocolate, setting the foundation for what would become one of America’s most iconic brands.
