The Star of the Show: Miss Dolly

One cannot visit the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area and not feel the presence of its most famous daughter - Dolly Parton. Whether you get the chance to catch a glimpse of Dolly in person while on one of her tours of Dollywood or at the annual parade in Pigeon Forge, it really doesn't matter. She is everywhere. From billboards to brochures to a boulevard, her name and image are everywhere - even on the courthouse grounds. The statue of Dolly was sculpted by a local artist named Jim Gray. It was unveiled by Dolly on May 2, 1987, and continues to be appointed stop for any Dolly fan - me included.
