Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort tops out, reaching another major milestone. During this traditional "Topping Out" construction celebration, the resort’s highest point was installed. Construction crews lowered the final element of Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort's three iconic spires. These spires completed the resort’s outside profile. This ceremony brought the resort one step closer to making Dolly’s dream a reality.
Just as Dolly has fostered a love for stories and reading among younger generations in the United States and many other countries, the International Storytelling Center showcases the power of storytelling through entertainment, history, culture, knowledge and, most importantly, dreaming.
