Goldrush Junction about 1965

An old home video of Goldrush Junction in Pigeon Forge, TN. According to some comments on the Internet, this was originally called "Rebel Railroad" in the early 1960s. It was then later renamed "Silver Dollar City Tennessee" and in 1986, Dolly Parton became a co-owner and the park was renamed Dollywood.
