Dolly Parton is opening a new roadside travel stop next month

Zoom in: Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop opens June 24 in Cornersville, an hour south of Nashville on Interstate 65.

• It is the first of several planned locations.

The big picture: The new travel stop joins Parton's existing theme park and mountain resort. A new museum and hotel are coming to downtown Nashville later this year.

State of play: The travel stop will be located at exit 22 on I-65. Visitors can get Parton-approved barbecue at a sit-down restaurant or grab some Cup of Ambition coffee. Custom merch will be available in the gift shop.

• A tour bus inspired by Parton's personal model will give fans a window into her life on the road.

The vibe: It wouldn't be Dolly if there wasn't music. Travel stop management is bringing local musicians on for live entertainment.

What we're watching: Parton's SongTeller Hotel and an adjoining museum are expected to open this fall in downtown Nashville.
