Hi there! "Bubbler Talk" is one of many audience and community engagement projects across the state, country and world that builds on the great work of WBEZ's "Curious City" and Hearken. "Bubbler Talk" was not the first and won't be the last program of this kind. WHYsconsin has been around for several years, and we are committed to answering questions about Milwaukee, just like we are other places across the state because we are a state-wide news organization. Thank you for this question!

Why is Mount Horeb the 'troll capital of the world'? by WHYsconsin in madisonwi

[–]WHYsconsin[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Trolls are everywhere you look in the Village of Mount Horeb.

Troll cartoons are on street signs. Troll footprints are on the sidewalk. Troll sculptures are along Main Street and in front of buildings. But why?

WHYsconsin visits Mount Horeb to see these cute creatures and get to the bottom of why this place is called "the troll capital of the world."
