Each year Hershey features special events and activities throughout the town centered on our heritage of what else -- chocolate! To celebrate, the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Museum has several activities available for visitors during the month of February.
Daily Activities:
The original Hershey's Kissmobile Cruiser -- a unique vehicle that has traveled the country featuring a trio of giant Hershey's Kisses is on display daily at the AACA Museum - a must have photo opportunity for all! Our retail store offers a Kissmobile model vehicle that makes a unique Valentines gift for the car lover or the little ones in your life.
How many kisses can you find? The Hershey's Kiss Scavenger Hunt gives guests the opportunity of locate plush Hershey's Kisses hidden all over the AACA Museum just waiting to be found! One lucky winner will be selected from all those who participate to win a 5 lb. Hershey's Chocolate Bar courtesy of The Hershey Company.
The Museum is also proud to showcase our series of murals depicting downtown Hershey during the 1920's. These magnificent murals were recently unveiled by mural artist David Naydock, a Pennsylvania resident. So look carefully to see if you can identify any of the buildings from Hershey during the 1920's.
