Dolly Parton Left a Sealed Song to Be Opened in 2046

Dolly Parton wrote a song called "My Place in History" in 2015, locked it in a chestnut box at Dollywood's DreamMore Resort in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and instructed that it be unveiled on what would have been her 100th birthday — 19 January 2046. Billboard confirmed the detail on 31 August 2026, three days after her burial in Nashville.
