CORNERSVILLE, Tenn. — Angela Pierce embarked on a long journey of about 2,000 miles. In her car, she had her two dogs and her husband, who would soon arrive at the Knoxville airport. Despite a packed schedule, Angela insisted on making one crucial stop.
Friends Connie Wilkinson, Sherri Taylor, and Denyse Brown gathered for a picture on the back patio of Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop in Cornersville, Tennessee. The stop turned out to be more than just a quick pause on the road. It was a nod to Dolly Parton, a celebrated figure in the state and beyond.
The necessity of this visit sparked from a curiosity. Would the stop reflect the essence of Dolly Parton or lean more towards the eclectic charm of a rhinestone-encrusted novelty? To discover the answer, a road trip was inevitable.
