Only to drop a bit of wisdom. I am from Massachusetts. While we dont have as majestic of a view Whoville is believed to be based on a real town and the mountain is based on a real mountain. The town is Easthampton and the mountain is Mt Tom. If you google the latter the shape is rather similar. also ill drop a link for the story. I do the hike up Grinches mountain every year to look upon Whoville

I went scrolling for this comment. I grew up in Springfield MA and lived in Easthampton for a while. I’ve got some beautiful winter pics of Whoville from the top of Mt Crumpet.
