To pay tribute to Dolly Parton and honor her contributions to her home county, a historic bell will toll and a moment of silence will be observed.

The bell at the top of Sevier County Courthouse, built in 1896, will ring a reverent toll for five minutes Wednesday at noon in honor of the Tennessee legend. In front of the courthouse a statue of Parton stands, portraying her sitting on a rock, barefoot in jeans holding a guitar on her lap.
