Dollywood - A Memory Worth Repeating (1998 VHS)

This is a video documentary filmed by Rowland Productions Inc. in 1996 for Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN. It was released in the park and never premiered on DVD. It features footage of almost all of the specialty craftspeople that were part of the early days of Dollywood in the Craftman's Valley section of the park. The video also features a listing of all of the major entertainment offerings available in the park and a highlight of the Holiday offerings as part of A Smoky Mountain Christmas. The video ends with an advertisement for a craftsman class that was available at the time and an advertisement for the Heartsong video cassette that was also available for purchase at the time.
I converted the VHS to a video file through the use of a Roxio VHS to DVD converter, then used Adobe Premier Pro to balance the audio. The quality is not great, but it is about as good as it gets with a nearly 30-year-old VHS tape. Enjoy this blast from the past from Dollywood's rich history.

My friend went to kings island in Ohio where he was born and I wanted to share him while he was the some vintage ads for kings island. Today I was wondering “I wonder if there’s any vintage ads for Dollywood” I live near dolly wood so me and my family go there every year, this video makes me so happy seeing Dollywood in the 90s it was so much more simple and the old vhs look is one that I love I wish I was alive when Dollywood what like this 😊😊😊

It actually says copyright 1998 at the end of video. Daredevil Falls opened in 1998, so this video couldn't be 1996.
