This morning, visit Sevierville, TN, the hometown of Dolly Parton.  Here, you can snap a selfie with Dolly Parton’s statue on the Sevier County Courthouse lawn.  This tribute to the most honored female country performer of all time by her hometown community is the only place on earth you’re guaranteed to get close to the living legend.  The six-and-a-half-foot tall bronze sculpture was crafted by nationally-known local artist Jim Gray and unveiled more than 30 years ago.

A stop will also be made at The Pines Mural located in historic downtown Sevierville on the Pines Building.  The artwork honors its building’s history as a theater by featuring five of the most famous talents who performed on stage: singer Roy Acuff, comedian Archie Campbell, superstar Dolly Parton, singer-songwriter June Carter Cash, and musician Chet Atkins.
