Mount Horeb Area Historical Society
offers "Trolls 101,"
a deeper look at Mount Horeb's most famous residents.
The Driftless Historium hosts Portland, Oregon-based writer and researcher Britt Rasmussen March on Tuesday, December 29 at 6:30pm for “Trolls: A Retrospective.” This free virtual holiday treat will provide an overview of the cultural and folk history of trolls.
In Mount Horeb, trolls are a quirky -and profitable- distillation of our Norwegian heritage. Thousands of intrigued daytrippers and tourists travel to the Troll Capital of the World every year, to walk the Trollway and take selfies with our troll neighbors before heading to the Grumpy Troll Brew Pub to refuel. But, as these out-of-towners ask at service counters as they purchase their souvenirs, what’s REALLY the deal with the trolls?

Marsh tackles this from a global perspective with her current project, WeTroll, a non-fiction book and podcast that explores the “troll diaspora” from Scandinavia to North America in order to ask “are trolls real, and have you encountered one?”
She is also collaborating on an ongoing group translation of the 1978 text, “Eg Har Sett Huldra” (“I have seen Huldra”), an autobiographical account of a hunter-taxidermist’s encounter with a beautiful troll siren.
Her research tracks how trolls are woven throughout the recorded histories of Scandinavia, from the Vikings of Old Norse, to the conquests of St. Olav. Trolls, Marsh contends, are amongst us. And always have been. Some are fearsome, other comforting. They are ugly, beautiful, in the woods, in the towns, in the home and—sometimes—in us. They Our collective reimagining and reinterpreting of the troll continues to this day.
Marsh asks, who are they? What do they want from us? Or do they just want to be left alone?
