In Sperryville, shortly before the entrance to Skyline Drive, is the Country Manor Gift Shop. This is the home of the Blue Ridge Mountain Trolls, who have captured the imagination of local residents and tourists alike.
The troll is a very hairy little creature, most recognizable by his bulbous nose which is fashioned by mountain craftsmen out of a knobby gourd. The troll b festooned with sea shells, pine cones, and nuts which give him a whimsical rather than unfriendly look. A sign above the troll shelf at Country Manor explains: "Blue Ridge Mountain Trolls can be seen on moonlit nights cavorting about the mountains. They can be caught with two hickory sticks and a burlap bag." If you’re not too quick with the old hickory sticks, you can put moonlit nights in the mountains to better use and purchase a troll of your very own at Country Manor from Phyllis and James Swindler.
