Dolly Parton Tour of Nashville

She was born in a tiny cabin on the banks of the Little Pigeon River in eastern Tennessee and moved to Nashville the day after she graduated from Sevier County High School in 1964. Dolly Parton went on to become the “Queen of Country Music,” composing at least 5,000 songs to date. Since releasing her debut album, Hello, I’m Dolly, in 1996, Dolly Parton has changed the face of the music industry, breaking glass ceilings in both country and pop music with her powerful voice. Visitors to Music City can still experience the places where she made her mark—from the studios where she recorded her first albums to the clubs where she sang her heart out, to the many places inspired by her glamorous style and no-nonsense outlook on life. This tour showcases all the Nashville sites associated with Dolly Parton, from the honky tonk where she tested her songs and her wits to a sleek rooftop bar inspired by her unique style. The best time to take this tour is during daytime hours. The first five destinations can easily be reached by foot, but the last three are a bit further away: your best bet is to travel to them via one of Nashville's many e-scooters, found at docking stations across the city; ride share or car.
