About Hershey
Located about fifteen minutes west of North Platte, Hershey offers a quiet, close-knit rural setting in the heart of the Platte River valley. The village grew from a humble railroad stop named after an early settler, and it has kept that calm, small-town atmosphere ever since. Surrounded by open farmland and prairie skies, it gives residents a peaceful home base with plenty of room to breathe.
Daily life here centers around friendly neighborhood connections, local school events, and the steady rhythm of the surrounding farming country. You will find quiet residential streets where people look out for one another, along with easy access to outdoor recreation at nearby reservoirs. When you need major shopping, healthcare, or entertainment, North Platte is a quick drive down Highway 30.
