When you hear the name “Hershey,” you probably think of chocolate bars. Milton Hershey is famous for making them in Hershey, Pennsylvania. This weekend, more than 100 Hershey descendants visited the town named after him. But they weren’t celebrating chocolate. They were celebrating this: Three hundred years ago, their ancestors settled in America.

During the celebration, the Hersheys visited two very important graves. The graves belong to Michael and Mary. They were the last two Conestoga Indians. The rest of their peaceful tribe was killed in two Pennsylvania massacres in 1763. Christian Hershey was a reverend in the Mennonite church then. He hid Michael and Mary in his basement for nearly a year. He protected them. He saved their lives. The Hershey family still wants to honor the lost Indian tribe.
