Told through the eyes of Max’s grandson, this charming story is set amongst the snow drifts of Max’s farm in Connecticut. Today, this farm is a part of the Hopeville State Park in eastern Connecticut. “Hopeville doesn’t exist anymore,” pines the narrator for times long-gone, but “you can still park your car along the road and wander through trails and trees that were once the temporary home of Santa Claus.”

Come along! Take the journey and discover the real story of Santa Claus for yourself.
