Thomas Dambo Trolls

Inspiration

When we visited Dix Park in Raleigh, NC, October 2025, our primary goal was to find all the Thomas Dambo Trolls there, finished just the week before our visit. We found all 5, part of the 7 Troll The Grandmother Tree installation. Very Cool! So, we’ve since been a “little” on the lookout for others. Gail has visited 2 of the 6 “Northwest Trolls“, Way of the Bird King, when home. We found all 5 in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, July 2026 and 1 in Colorado in August 2026.
