6. The Chapel Was Named After an Unlikely Person

As you venture around the park, you’ll find a beautifully designed chapel. It was built in 1973 – years before Parton became affiliated with Dollywood. Shockingly, the chapel was named after a man named Robert F. Thomas. He was a very influential doctor in the area, and he’s the same doctor who delivered the singer when she was a baby! Talk about a coincidence…
