the troll capital of the world

Tucked away in a small town 20 miles west of Madison is the ‘Troll Capital of the World’. 25+ carved trolls are planted across town to lure visitors like my mom and I into town and onto the ‘Trollway’. We went on a search to find them all but were disappointed and humored to find out that many were in closed, private establishments like the local dentist, chiropractor, bank, etc. The town takes their reputation seriously! The pleasing craftspersonship and creativity of the trolls we saw and the delicious locally brewed beer + Wisconsin cheese curds at the Grumpy Troll will be how we remember the cheesy state of Wisconsin.
