    Micah Stephens Anthony ART 499 May 1, 2016 Dollywood or Bust: A Theme Park and its Community Dollywood is a theme-park set in the mountains of East Tennessee. Located in Sevier County, Tennessee, Dollywood is right next door to Smoky Mountain National Park and is one of the most visited attractions in the state of Tennessee. Dollywood has grown an industry of tourism around Sevier County, specifically on the Pigeon Forge strip, that has made a huge impact on the community. While there are differing opinions on what tourism does to a community, the economy that it builds in this particular area allows the community to sustain itself. Dolly Parton, the namesake and figure head of the park, has often said of herself, “It takes a lot of money to look this cheap” (N.p.). Similarly, some say that the tourism on the strip looks cheap, but it takes substantial funding to support a community sustained by tourism. While Dollywood’s opening season was in 1986, the park has a history dating back to 1961. Dollywood as we know it now has taken many different names through the years, beginning in 1961 as Rebel Railroad. Rebel Railroad, owned and operated by the Robins Brothers opened for its first season in 1961(“Historic Attractions”). The park focused on local heritage with a coal fired steam train and saloon, but didn’t have many other attractions at this stage in its development. It had a successful opening season and continued with its success until 1970. The park was bought by then owner of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, Art Modell, in 1970.
