Dolly's Influence on Dollywood - Dollywood Insiders

Dolly’s Influence on Dollywood

It has her name on it. When visiting Dollywood, do you ever look around and wonder about the influence that Dolly has on the park?

Dollywood’s theming is so detailed, and yes, Dolly has inspired many elements throughout the park. I asked Pete Owens, Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations, to share insight on some of the Dolly connections that we may not realize.

This just scratches the surface, there’s so much more! So be sure on your visit, slow down and take in some of the awesome theming and backstory that Dollywood has to offer.
