Pigeon Forge is named for the passenger pigeons that populated the area when
it was settled in the late 1700s. After a pioneer established a forge on the
site, the names were joined into the present appellation. With the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park so close, outdoor activities figure heavily in Pigeon
Forge. The area is billed as a family destination as well and offers a host
of wholesome attractions, one of the most popular being Dollywood. Opened by
country singer Dolly Parton, Dollywood features amusement park rides, live entertainment,
food concessions and more. Pigeon Forge is also home to an Elvis Museum that
boasts the largest private collection of memoribilia related to the King of
Rock and Roll in the United States; self guided tours are available.
