Elvis Presley Birthplace Part 1
Having lived near Tupelo, MS my entire life, I have been by Elvis Presley’s Birthplace hundreds of times. Every time, I think, ‘He lived the American dream’. He was born in a very modest two-room house that his father built and rose to superstardom. I think everyone would agree he changed music forever. If you find yourself traveling between Birmingham, AL and Memphis, TN make a point to stop in Tupelo, MS. Visit the birthplace and Tupelo Hardware where Elvis purchased his first guitar. You’ll be glad you did.

Wow – I'm a huge Elvis fan and would love to make this trip! My parents took us kids back in the 80's, but I don't remember squat. I forsee us taking a little roadtrip to visit Tupelo some day. Everything looks beautifully maintained!

Thanks so much for sharing. I enjoyed the tour. Like most folks, I loved Elvis. It's amazing to see where he came from. I guess remembering his roots is what made him such a giving person.

It's hard to imagine. It's the smallest house! They have really done a good job with the memorial.

How cool is that? Love your pictures 🙂 It's hard for me to imagine building a house for $180 …. even knowing back in 1934 it was a lot of money!
