Chocolates by Tina Marie Candy Shop in Hummelstown

Chocolates by Tina Marie is a locally owned and operated business in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania. You'll find them located at 16 S. Rosanna Street...about a 12-14 minutes drive from Harrisburg or a 10 minutes drive from Hershey. You can park right on the side street in front of or near the candy shop. 

Hours of Operation:

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 11am to 5pm
Saturday 11am to 3pm

Around the holidays they do add extra hours to their schedule...think Valentine's Day, Easter and Christmas when candy is in a higher demand.

When you walk in you'll immediately get a nice whiff of chocolate in the air. Oh my gosh, it smells so good in there! You'll find a combination of chocolate candies that are handmade on the premises along with purchased candies from other vendors.

On the day we were there they had Easter candy on display. Small through Giant sized chocolate bunnies, chocolate dipped marshmallow peeps, lollipops and more! We picked up 2 packs of the chocolate dipped marshmallow peeps for our grandchildren who love them!

When shopping for chocolate candy here's a small portion of what they have to offer:

Non-pareils
Chocolate Covered Nuts
Chocolate Covered Cherries
Jordans (chocolate covered crackers)
Chocolate Dipped Bacon
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Various Flavors of Truffles
Peanut Butter Cups
Chocolate Caramels
Small Variety of Fudge
Plus MUCH MUCH MORE!

We have driven by Chocolates by Tina Marie several times and always wanted to stop in. We finally did! Wow, we were really missing out! We will definitely be visiting this locally-owned chocolate candy store every time we're in the Hummelstown or Hershey areas.

Over the next year we'll be spotlighting more locally-owned, Pennsylvania proud businesses on the PA Travel Blog. Please shop local!!! 

Edward Abbey Historical Marker in Indiana County

Over the past 11 years we've been following the Pennsylvania Historical Marker Trail all through our great state and documenting them here on the blog. Millions of people walk or drive by these markers every year and never give them a second thought. They're a great source of historic information and we're trying to bring some much needed attention to them.

While following the trail through Indiana County in Pennsylvania, we stumbled upon the Edward Abbey historical marker. Here's the information on it.

Edward Abbey

Author and defender of wilderness, most famous for his two books Desert Solitaire and The Monkey Wrench Gang. Born in Indiana, PA. in 1927, Abbey grew up in and around the village of Home. Although he moved to the Western U.S. in 1948, books such as Appalachian Wilderness, The Journey Home, and The Fool's Progress describe his native county where he learned to love nature. Abbey died in Tucson, Arizona in 1989. 

Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission

You'll find the historical marker located on Buffalo-Pittsburgh Highway near Home, Pennsylvania. It's south of Washington Church Road on the right when traveling north. You can pull off to the side of the road to photograph it for your waymarking records.
