Elvis

Be inspired by the place the king got his start.

Elvis Presley was born in a two-room house in East Tupelo where he grew up dreaming of becoming a superhero with wavy hair, a cape, and a lightning bolt on his chest.

For his 11th birthday, his mother bought him a guitar from Tupelo Hardware Company. Ten years later, he made his first gold record. It’s your getaway - imagine what you can do here.
