Dollywood theme park in east Tennessee is planning new tributes to honor Dolly Parton, who died at age 80. The park will add a waterfall, stained glass windows in a chapel, and a new character called the Dream Maker inspired by Parton's Imagination Library, WBAL.
Sevierville, the city where Dollywood sits, will also place markers around town for a self-guided walking tour of places important to Parton's life. The park will set up kiosks where visitors can share memories about her and display exhibits about her career and legacy, Newsday.
A Waterfall and Chapel to Celebrate Faith
The waterfall feature reflects Parton's spiritual side and will anchor a new chapel space. Stained glass windows will also fill this chapel, creating a place for visitors to honor her memory and deep faith. These additions blend nature with religion—two things Parton valued throughout her life, WBAL.
The Dream Maker Character Brings Her Legacy to Life
A new character named the Dream Maker will join Dollywood's attractions. This figure draws inspiration from Parton's Imagination Library, a program she created to send free books to children. The Dream Maker will help park visitors understand how Parton spent her life lifting others up, Yahoo News.
Sevierville Creates Walking Tour of Parton's Roots
The city of Sevierville will mark important locations throughout town where Parton spent her childhood and early years. Visitors can follow a self-guided walking tour to see these historical spots. The markers will tell the story of how a girl from a small Tennessee town became a global icon, Messenger-Inquirer.
Interactive Kiosks Let Visitors Share Their Stories
Dollywood will install kiosks throughout the park where fans can record their thoughts and memories about Parton. The park will also add new exhibits focused on her life and career achievements. These interactive spaces give visitors a chance to feel connected to the woman who created the park in 1986, SF Chronicle.
