What Happened – April 24

It was on this day in 1907 that Hershey Park first opened with a baseball game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox. Milton Hersey built the park near his factory town for workers to “leave dull cares behind“, and access was limited to only employees and their families. (It was later opened to the general public.) In addition to the baseball field the original park had a bandstand, a pavilion, and areas for picnicking & canoeing.  The following summer a merry-go-round and 1,500-seat amphitheater was added on, with a tennis court & bowling alley built the year after that. The park continued to grow every season, with there now being over 60 rides (11 of which are roller coasters) as well as 200 animal zoo.
