Overview

This is the ONLY tour that goes to the cabin on Locust Ridge, near where Dolly Parton was born—a rare glimpse into her humble beginnings. You’ll also visit her schools and the church where she first sang, all nestled in the mountain hollers that inspired her music.
Whether you're capturing the peaceful landscapes of Dolly’s backroads and Fall Foliage or the charm of the Gatlinburg Arts & Crafts Community, this tour offers a rich and rewarding experience that’s both personal and picturesque.
Have lunch at PREACHER’S BAR-B-QUE, a true local favorite. Continue to a real Appalacian antique store, and then to the last of the mountain broom makers.
No Dolly tour is complete without a stop in downtown Sevierville, The Dolly Statue, and a treat at Red’s Ice Cream Fountain, one of Dolly’s favorite high school hangouts. Indulge in their homemade ice cream, brimming with nostalgic flavor—a sweet finale and a picture-perfect memory!
