Elvis Presley Birthplace and Museum
Overview
The most significant landmark of Tupelo's modern history is a modest, two-room house where the King of Rock 'N' Roll was born January 8, 1935. From this humble beginning, Elvis Presley began his swift rise to become the world's most popular entertainer. The house, built by his father with $180, draws over 100,000 visitors each year worldwide and is part of the 15-acre Elvis Presley Park. The home is a Mississippi landmark and the centerpiece of the park, including a museum that chronicles his life, "Elvis at 13" statue, Elvis' childhood church, and more.
