Few people know you can fall down The Troll Hole in northeast Ohio.
In Alliance, you’ll find a truly unique collection on display that will likely take you down memory lane—and transport you to a whole other world. The Troll Hole is a little-known museum and art gallery that features the world’s largest collection of trolls. A visit here is whimsical, informative and downright fun. Take a look:
The exterior of the museum lets you know you're in for a unique adventure before you've even stepped foot inside the gallery...
Indoor grottos and waterfalls make your visit here extra special. It feels less like a museum and more like a fantasyland.
