Mt Horeb, Wisconsin
August 27, 2022
An
afternoon rainstorm wasa the perfect excuse for us to take a long drive
around some of the other towns near Madison, and they were all
interesting - - Verona, home of the fantasy-themed Epic corporate headquarters - Frank Lloyd Wright's country estate, Taliesen - Spring Green, and its cute main street bookstores and gift shops. But by far the most interesting was Mt. Horeb, the self-proclaimed troll capital of the world. During the 1980s, to celebrate their Norwegian heritage as well as a reaction to the construction of a highway bypass around the town, Mount Horeb has transformed itself into the "Troll Capital of the World." Downtown is decorated with several life-sized, carved, wooden trolls. |
