Easy box under 1 hour. Manfield Hollow , Ct. Tolland County Park at the Dam parking lot Planted : 4/12/01 Leader of the Pack, Cowboy & Big Sister There once was a set of little dwarf men who lived in an enchanted forest. They raised a princess and when she rode of into the sunset with her Prince they felt their work in the forest had come to a close. They went their seperate ways singing Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to find new homes. Well several dwarfs stopped to reside in a popular tourist amusement park in Orlando ,Florida there they get to see many little Princesses and quite a few young Princes. But Grumpy just couldn't take the noise, or the crowds - have you seen the lines near the castle, grumble grumble , grumble. Grumpy went on looking for a new enchanted park where the crowds were less ,and the view superb. He finally settled in at a place called Mansfield Hollow . You can visit with Grumpy but mind- on a rainy day his mood may not be grand but underneath the rough exterior is a heart of gold. Park your car in the lot near the dam, they are not allowed near Grumpy's house. Walk up into the park, pass the American flag fluttering in the breeze, you can take a left up the drive or climb the steps and walk left on the dike. At the yellow gate take a right . Grumpy passed by the brick canoe shed with green windows on his way home one day, you pass too (on left they will be) . Cross over the cable, walk to the cement pillar, and turn left. Beautiful front steps and a Maple lined lane, but the house is gone now. Walk down the lane . At the bottom the meadow is on the right, you take a sharp left. As you go on up the hill, there's a cement pad to be seen on the right, pass on by. When you reach a clearing, look for the bluebird house on the right. On the left are 4 Cedar trees. After the 4 Cedars there is a large Oak growing out of the embankment. Behind here is the place where Grumpy chose to live. Look over the lake , feel a breeze and soon you will not feel Grumpy at all. Have Fun.
