NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Dolly Parton's extraordinary life and legacy are taking center stage at a new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
It'll trace key moments from Parton's six-decade career, from overcoming early rejections to becoming a global superstar. Fans can see handwritten lyrics, stage outfits, awards, and even the cassette recorder she used to write "I Will Always Love You" and "Jolene."
"Being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame was one of the greatest moments of my life, and being able to have a personal exhibit for the fans that put me there is a very big deal to me,” said Dolly Parton. “This seeker is very proud and honored, and I hope you enjoy my journey. I will always love you.”
The exhibit opens May 20 and runs through September of next year. You can get in with a regular admission ticket here.

My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
