LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM)– The Hershey Farm Restaurant and Inn is reopening Friday as the “Hershey Farm Resort” after a fire destroyed it last year.

The accidental fire started while an employee was conducting roof work last year. The glue the worker was using caught fire, which led to a disastrous fire that caused millions of dollars in damages to the restaurant, retail shops, bakery, and more, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
