HUGE SURPRISE: The Queen of Country Is Becoming a Monument! From a humble one-room cabin in the Smoky Mountains to the iconic steps of the Tennessee State Capitol, Dolly Parton’s incredible journey is about to be immortalized forever. A magnificent $2.8 million statue will soon rise in her honor—not only for her timeless songs but also for her boundless heart that gave books to children, hope to the sick, and light to generations. With her signature humility, Dolly once said, “I never set out to be a monument—I just wanted to make people happy.” Yet now, the girl who came from nothing will stand forever in stone—an enduring testament to the power of kindness, courage, and music.
