The Town of Hickory Hollow
The town may be tiny, but it is a special place for the people who live there. Whether it is exploring off-trail in Shellbark forest, investigating the historical monuments that decorate Town Square, enjoying one of the many town celebrations, or even grabbing some popcorn and a flick at the Hickory Hollow Cinema, there is always an adventure to be had in Hickory Hollow. There are important discoveries to be made, secret riddles to be solved, unexplained mysteries to be discovered, and even hidden treasures to be found. But watch out! Sometimes, the town seems to have a mind of its own.
