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.

Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital. Austin Pollack shares the story of students in a Nashville family who have helped re-launch the Red Wagon project to collect games for patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
