Dolly Parton’s statue is located on the courthouse yard of Sevierville, Tennessee, her home town. The statue was placed in 1987, and shows Dolly as a young lady before she gained international fame and fortune.
Sevierville is right next to Pigeon Forge, where Dolly World and Dolly Parton’s Stampede show is located.
I haven’t heard of her statue before, she certainly deserves this. Such a wonderful woman and talent! 😍

I had always imagined a statue of Dolly being somewhere like Hollywood, but that shows my ignorance. What a fantastic woman she is, and I will make sure I go learn more on where she came from and her history

Her story is fascinating. There are a couple of good movies about her life. It is worth finding out about her life story.

I want to also salute her for giving a donation to medical research which led to the development of the Moderna vaccine for COVID-19. She recently received this vaccine as well.
