Elvis Presley Birthplace and Park — Attraction in Tupelo

I have driven through Memphis and Tupelo several times traveling the southeast but had never stopped at Graceland (I was even born in Memphis) or Elvis' birth house. In late 2006 I was driving from Savannah to Tulsa and decided I was going to take the Graceland tour. I did, was amazed at how it was not so big and that the neighbors lived in average, 3 bdrm rambler type homes right next door. Then back on the road I was driving past Tupelo and decided to see E's birthplace and final resting place all in the same day. I went there, no one was there! I walked through the shotgun house, no one there, and just felt weird. E's birth house! Was quiet and peaceful. Like what augi said in these reviews...from humble beginnings...

I'm not a major Elvis fan, but as we were passing through Tupelo it seemed silly not to visit. And actually it wasn't bad. A bit overpriced (for me anyway, again not a huge fan) but I imagine probably ok for major fans. It was really cool to go inside the house Elvis was born and the park surrounded it was lovely and clean. Defo worth a little stop and visit, even if you don't like the King himself, just for the fact that he is a huge part of music history and it's cool...

Great museum especially for those who are Elvis fans. Lots of information about his whole life. You get to see the house he was born in, the church they went to while he was a kid and lots of memorabilia. Very beautiful grounds with fountains and statues. The museum is free to see and free to walk grounds. Only pay to go inside of the house, to watch a movie, or gift shop items. A lot to see and a good place to stop for sight seeing. Kid friendly...
