About This Tour
Embark on a journey through Dolly’s Sevier County, with stops at a covered bridge, an AUTHENTIC antique shop, and a live demonstration of handmade brooms by a 3rd-generation craftsman and have lunch at PREACHER’S BAR-B-QUE, a true local favorite. 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 or the charm of the Gatlinburg Arts & Crafts Community, this tour offers a rich and rewarding experience that’s both personal and picturesque. No Dolly tour is complete without a stop in downtown Sevierville, 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!
