Sevierville is a city in east Tennessee. To the south, Great Smoky Mountains National Park has forest trails and waterfalls. A statue of country singer Dolly Parton, a Sevierville native, is downtown by the 1896 beaux arts–style courthouse. The Tennessee Museum of Aviation has vintage aircraft, including 2 rare P-47 Thunderbolts. To the east, the Forbidden Caverns are vast underground caves with calcite formations.
In the town's eastern section, the Little Pigeon River is formed by the confluence of its East Fork and Middle Fork, both of which flow down from their sources high in the Great Smoky Mountains. Five miles (8 km) downstream to the west, the Little Pigeon absorbs its West Fork before turning north and flowing for another five miles (8 km) to its mouth along the French Broad River. Sevierville is centered on the stretch of land between these two junctions of the East and Middle Fork and the West Fork, known traditionally as Forks-of-the-Pigeon or Forks-of-the-River.
Situated in an area where the Foothills of the Great Smokies give way to the Tennessee Valley, Sevierville has long acted as a nexus between Knoxville to the north and the Appalachian towns in the mountains to the south. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is located approximately ten miles south of Sevierville.
Like other towns situated along the Parkway in Sevier County, Sevierville has reaped the benefits of the burgeoning tourism industry brought on by the development of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As of 2004, nearly 50 percent of businesses based in Sevierville were linked to tourism. For example, there are more than 2,000 hotel and motel rooms in the city that generate more than $500,000 in hotel-motel tax revenues each year.

Tennessee Politician: Take Down KKK Statue, Replace With Dolly Parton
Upon entering the Nashville, Tennessee Capital Building you’ll see seven bronze busts of southern white men…
One of those busts is of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was a slave trader, one of the first members of the KKK, and whose greatest claim to fame is overseeing the slaughter of hundreds of Black Union soldiers at what became known as the Fort Pillow massacre.
So why shouldn’t he be idolized in bronze and revered by legislators and visiting school children alike?
Republican State Representative Jeremy Faison is taking up the fight to remove the confederate bust and replace him with a history-making woman.
Speaking to The Tennessean, Jeremy Faison specifically proposed suffragette Anne Dallas Dudley or current country superstar Dolly Parton.
Who better to honor in the City of Country Music than the Queen of Country Music?
But the Capitol Commission, which oversees the building, voted against taking down the bust and current Governor Bill Lee also wants to keep it in place but said he’ll consider adding historical context to it.
Rep. Jeremy Faison retorted,
Hitler has earned his place in history, but they don't put monuments of him in Germany anymore.
As a centrist-conservative Republican, I believe confederate monuments should be taken down and relocated into museums so they can continue to serve as a source education, but not as a source of inspiration.
Some fear by taking down confederate statues we will go down a slippery slope of eventually taking down monuments to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson because they were also southern slaveowners.
But where I draw the line is between having slaves vs. fighting for slavery.
George Washington doesn’t derive his fame from fighting for a morally wrongful losing cause. He derives his fame from fighting for freedom, republicanism, and the United States of America.
Yes, he benefited from slavery, which he felt bad about at the time, but we are ALL a product of convenience and if you live long enough it will only be a matter of time before you have committed some egregious act according to future standards.
We make technology and technology makes us.
It is easy for us today to take the moral high-ground of acknowledging slavery is wrong because we no longer depend upon it for survival, but just imagine how future generations will think of us when they are no longer dependent upon killing animals for their source of meat (genetically-engineered meat), gasoline for their source of energy, or abortion as a source of birth control (they’ll have more effective means of birth control AND they’ll likely have stricter controls on genetic engineering whereby conception may serve as an important red line for distinguishing what is “human” otherwise without the government drawing such a line humanity will quickly evolve into many different subspecies).
George Washington was a flawed man, but he was a product of his time. And compared to his southern peers, he was a progressive on slavery by treating his slaves better and freeing them upon his death.
For 99.9% of human history, it was a common practice to have slaves (we are all descendants of slaves) and it’s only a recent phenomenon that we have come to believe “all men are created equal,” which it was George Washington who led the charge to breathe life into those words.
And it’s because he succeeded that we now climbed so high as to be able to look down our noses.

Historic Harrisburg Covered Bridge 1875 Sevierville Tn
Built in 1875 this truly a piece of history. Four hundred yards south, this bridge was built over the East Fork of the Little Pigeon River in 1875 by Elbert Stephenson Early, an area resident who owned Newport Mills. The bridge had deteriorated and its loss was threatened until it was restored in 1972 through the joint efforts of the Great Smokies Chapter and the Spencer Clack Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Tennessee Dance Party
In support of Adam Kokesh and everyone' s Dance Party at the Jefferson Memorial, we decided to get our groove on here in Tennessee at the Sevier County courthouse (with Dolly Parton's statue accompanying). Music is used under Fair Use to relate the lyrics to the underlying message: being a goofball in public isn't a crime if it doesn't hurt anyone. Being uptight, however, is bad for your health, maybe you should do a stress relieving activity? We recommend dancing... in public.

Home of Dolly Parton
A statue of Dolly sculpted by local artist Jim Gray decorates the lawn of Sevierville's courthouse, and Dolly herself unveiled the statue on May 2, 1987, while her proud parents looked on. In 1986, she opened her Dollywood entertainment park in neighboring Pigeon Forge. She comes home each April for the park's seasonal Grand Opening and makes several other appearances in the area during the year. Many of Dolly's family members still live in the Sevierville area, and several of them, including brother Randy, perform regularly at Dollywood.

Sevierville is very proud of its downtown and historic town square. Years ago, at Temple's Feed Store, County Commissioner Jimmie Temple married over 15,000 couples next to his bags of feed and bedding plants. The feed store is no longer there but Temple continues to conduct marriage ceremonies downtown. A variety of wedding chapels call historic downtown home and so does the town's bus station which is located in Taulbee's Restaurant. Sevierville's 108-year-old courthouse, located in the heart of downtown, is an excellent example of Victorian architecture.

Alexander Discusses Visit to East Tennessee after Sevier County Wildfires
Today, Sen. Alexander spoke on the Senate floor about the Sevier County wildfires and his visit to East Tennessee last week.
He said, Your character is measured not so much by how you handle things when things are going well, but how you handle adversity, and if that’s the measure of character, the character of the people of Gatlinburg and Sevier County is through the roof because they’re not complaining. …I salute the people of Sevier County and Gatlinburg for their courage and character and their compassion for one another.”
