gold rush junction then to silver dollar
0:33
city but no transformation was as great
0:36
as when dolly took over in 1986. since
0:38
then the park has become a glimpse into
0:40
dolly's life dolly made her vision clear
0:43
in rivertown junction where dolly's
0:44
replica tennessee mountain home sits
0:47
but one of the newest features from the

0:55
unique experience next door at
