Dolly Parton Recorded 1 Last Song to Be Released on Her 100th Birthday in 2046: What to Know

The resort’s glass case holds “My Place In History,” a recording Parton wrote for release on her 100th birthday in 2046.

  • Country music icon Dolly Parton died Tuesday at age 80, leaving behind an unreleased song titled "My Place in History" locked inside a chestnut Dream Box at her DreamMore Resort & Spa in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
  • Parton recorded the track in 2015, the same year the DreamMore Resort opened, with strict instructions that the capsule remain sealed until her 100th birthday on January 19, 2046.
  • To ensure the song survived decades, Parton included a CD player inside the box and admitted in her 2020 book "Songteller" that she worried "the whole thing ain't rotted."
  • Publicist Marcel Pariseau confirmed Parton died after a "brief battle with cancer," prompting President Donald Trump to order U.S. flags lowered to half-staff for one week, calling her death "a true loss for millions of people."
  • Parton's passing transforms the time capsule into a farewell; a generation of fans will gather in 2046 for the opening without the icon, leaving one final song sealed away.
