The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) has awarded $4,000 to the Hershey History Center; $17,668 to the AACA Museum Inc.; and $23,904 to the Hershey Story Museum. This funding has been made available through PHMC's Cultural and Historical Grant Program, which provides general operating support to Pennsylvania museums and historical societies not directly supported by other state programs.

Grants were awarded using a formula based on a percentage of each organization's annual operating budget. Grants were awarded to 158 organizations across 58 of the commonwealth's 67 counties.
