No trip to the Smokies should be complete without a hike on a mountain trail, some delicious Southern cooking and – believe it or not – a trip to one of the area’s amazing museums. Here are some of my favorite museums here in our mountains. All Things Dolly. I have probably been in [...]
Editor’s note: This guest post is written by Madi Mayfield, who joined the PR team in January. With wedding season right around the corner, it’s time to start planning! One of my closest friends is ready to tie the knot and has asked me to help plan her big day. Of course, Type-A person [...]
Editor’s note: This guest post is written by Madi Mayfield, who just joined the Dollywood PR team in January. She had never visited Dolly Parton’s Stampede, so she documented her experience to share with you. It’s not every day that you get to enjoy dinner with a side of racing pigs, longhorn cattle, live music [...]

It truly is a place that inspires wonder, excitement and awe of the holidays. We’re intentional [...]
When I start planning what to do for the 4th of July, I want it to truly be an All-American experience. A parade, fireworks, a baseball game, more fireworks, a roller coaster ride or two, some shopping and good food. My family and I can find all of those activities and options for celebrating [...]
