Elvis Presley Park
The King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, was born in Tupelo,
northern Mississippi in 1935 in a humble home where he began his
meteoric rise to fame. The simple two-room house where Elvis drew
his first breath is now contained in a park, which has become a
place of pilgrimage for thousands of fans every day. The city of
Tupelo has other attractions too to make a trip north of Jackson
worthwhile. Elvis Presley Park includes not only the
period-furnished house, but also a museum, memorial chapel, gift
shop and a life-size statue of the legend, aged 13, as he was when
he moved from Tupelo to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family.
