Just south of Hershey's Chocolate World tour is the Old Lighthouse and is the only thing left of the million gallon cement pool! My mom remembers taking in a picnic basket to eat in the shade along the grassy area near the river at the bottom of the old picture! And listening to bands like Jimmy Dorsey,Benny Goodman ect...coming from the band stand in upper part of old photo in middle, on second fl.! And sliding down a 40ft. wooden slide into the pool!
She was there in the 1938-40 the war hit and you couldn't travel!
