The trolls of Charlestown

Just five miles from The Historic General Stanton Inn located on the quiet coast of Rhode Island, is nearby Ninigret Park. Nature lovers will enjoy the serenity of the woods, trails and ponds of this hidden gem. Waiting in the woods are two giant wooden troll sculptures created by Danish sculptor Thomas Dambo whose goal is to encourage people to explore nature while thinking about the importance of sustainability and recycling. Thanks to the good works of Louise Bishop and the South County Tourism Council, the Trolls have become a must-see attraction here in Southern Rhode Island. Stay a night at the inn, enjoy dinner and breakfast...then make your way to the park and enjoy its wonders.
