Main Street, Hummelstown, PA: good, old-fashioned charm!


Well-preserved historic homes, tree-lined, brick sidewalks, potted plants and seasonal decorations are sprinkled throughout the downtown area. Hummelstown is not just the town "next to Hershey" but a destination all on its own. Take the day to stroll through town and browse a charming variety of shops and restaurants.

 

The town of Hummelstown features one-of-a-kind shops like Toys on the Square, Olde Factory Antiques and Crafts, The Swatty Creek Mill Boutique, Our Generation Italian Gourmet Food Store, The Lotus Crystal Shop, and Rhoads Pharmacy -- a shopper's delight that includes so much more than just a pharmacy.
