Online Auction Offers Props from Hershey Biopic Filmed in Pennsylvania

The movie "Hershey," a biopic about chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, recently wrapped filming in Western Pennsylvania, including Pittsburgh and surrounding towns, with a focus on authentic locations and period accuracy. Starring Finn Wittrock as Milton Hershey and Alexandra Daddario as his wife Catherine "Kitty" Hershey, the film highlights Hershey's rags-to-riches story, his philanthropic efforts, and his lasting impact, with a release planned for 2026. Carey Auctions is hosting an exclusive online auction featuring numerous authentic props from the film, such as period furnishings, antiques, and vintage set decorations, allowing collectors and fans nationwide to bid. A special in-person preview of the auction items will take place on August 24 at the Carey Auctions facility in Blairsville, Pennsylvania. The production emphasized local economic benefits, sourcing materials like lumber from nearby areas and employing many local crew members, with the filmmakers committed to shooting in America rather than cheaper foreign locations. While the film incorporates some fictional elements, such as a villainous character, it strives to maintain the spirit and historical aesthetic of Hershey's era.
