Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in southeastern USA, is unique because it shows and celebrates America’s traditional southeastern culture. Famous country music groups put out performances there all year round, indoors and outdoors. People come from all over America to see skilled workers make wood, glass, and iron objects in the old-fashioned way. Visiting the candy shop and trying some of the same kind of candy that Ameircan southerners made 150 years ago is a rare experience. Riding on the only steam still working in the southeastern United States is a special treat. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has a superb old wooden roller coaster. Thunderhead. It is world-famous for having the longest track in the smallest e to Dollywood to have fun learning all about America’s historic southeastern culture!
