New York’s First Permanent Troll Sculpture | Montpelier News

Tupper Lake’s The Wild Center is poised to make history by unveiling New York’s first permanent Thomas Dambo troll sculpture — a giant, eco-friendly art piece made from recycled materials. The temporary exhibit “Trolls: Save the Humans” is wrapping up in October, but the center wants to keep one of these massive trolls on permanent display. To make it happen, they’re raising $500,000 — with a twist: longtime donors Bill and Joan Grabe have pledged to match every dollar donated before October 31, effectively halving the goal. This isn’t just art — it’s a tourism magnet with the power to boost the local economy and promote sustainability, aligning perfectly with the center’s mission. With corporate partners on board and community momentum building, the clock is ticking to secure this landmark installation.
