He gave us a rich historical background of Asheville before guiding us through the streets, where we stopped at various points of interest. Along the way, he highlighted restaurants, landmarks, and historical sites dating from the 1700s to today. His storytelling made the city come alive, and I learned so much more than I expected.

Before you go you will want to give them a call like their website suggests to make sure they are open and available to show you around. When you arrive you are welcomed by a large troll on their front door which makes for a very cute group picture and they even have troll headbands you can use. The studio is made up of four main areas downstairs where the trolls are put together, the workshop where they get their personalities, the display area where you can choose your troll, and the museum. The story of the family who creates these adorable creatures is very interesting and really makes the place come alive.
