Trollhiem LLC is a new company dedicated to teaching traditional crafts, experimental archeology and having a place to hold living history events for all time frames and cultures. To this end the plan is for Trollhiem LLC to use a site in Early County Georgia as a school for traditional crafts and a living history campground. A planned future use for the site is to use it as an open air living his
tory museum when the staff and facilities can be developed sufficiently. The Location of Trollhiem LLC:
The property in question is located in Early County Georgia on County Road 310 near the intersection of Georgia Highway 273 (looking at Google Satellite Maps the property starts about where the tree line ends to the south and goes to the change in vegetation to the north, the west border is the County Road 310 and the east border is just inside the far tree line to the east). It will be possible to lease or buy another sixty to two hundred adjacent acres as needed. Why is Trollhiem an LLC instead of a Not for Profit Corporation? When Jim originally had the idea of a school and campground on the land he inherited from his parents he did pursue the idea of forming a non-profit corporation. He sought advice from a professor at a prestigious business school and was told “This isn’t the type of project we are interested in doing.” He then sought advice from friends who had started non-profit groups and was told that he could have control to see his vision of the school happen or he could make a salary from the non-profit, but not both. Since Jim needs both a salary and wants to keep control of the project he chose to create a LLC with his daughter, Sonja. It did not look like Jim would be able to get the project off the ground due to a lack of funds until he found out about “Crowd Funding” and a possible path opened for him.
