Trollwood Park

Fargo, ND

Cass County purchased farmland two miles north of Fargo in 1895 and established the Cass County Hospital and Poor Farm, a facility for residents without family or financial means. When the facility closed in 1973 and was demolished, the grounds held an estimated 1,000 unmarked graves across three cemeteries. Approximately 300 burials were relocated in 1985 due to neglect; some remain in place. The property became Trollwood Park and hosted a performing arts school whose outdoor performances coincided with the most frequently reported paranormal activity.
