Hershey delivers small-town ease with big-sky views along the North Platte River valley, minutes from I-80 and just a short hop to North Platte. Residents enjoy quiet blocks, family-run businesses, and a calendar shaped by agriculture, school events, and Friday-night games. Its location in Lincoln County keeps daily needs close, while commutes to regional employers remain simple. Outdoor lovers find room to roam, and travelers appreciate a convenient base between prairie and Sandhills, with Sutherland and other communities nearby.
Education anchors community life. Hershey Public Schools offers a tight-knit learning environment with strong academics, competitive Panther athletics, and robust arts and FFA programs. Weekends invite quick adventures: tour railroading history from the observation decks at the Golden Spike Tower, wander the ranch home of Buffalo Bill at Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park, boat or paddle at Lake Maloney State Recreation Area, or fish and sail at Sutherland Reservoir State Recreation Area.
Access to care and opportunity is solid, too, with regional specialists at Great Plains Health and workforce training through Mid-Plains Community College. Housing ranges from in-town ranch homes to acreage on the edge of town, and the market tends to move at a friendly pace. Whether you’re buying or selling, Agent Pronto can introduce you to proven local real estate agents who know how to get results in this area.
