Elvis Presley Birthplace, Musical history museum in Tupelo, United States.
Elvis Presley Birthplace is a museum site in Mississippi that includes the singer's birth home, exhibition spaces, and a chapel. The grounds span several hectares and connect residential buildings with places of worship.
Vernon Presley built the house in 1934 with help from his father and borrowed funds. The family left in 1938 due to debt and moved to other homes in the area.
The small wooden house shows two connected rooms that reveal how simple family life was in the 1930s. Visitors today can still see the narrow hallway and low ceilings that shaped the boy's early years.
Visitors can explore several buildings including the house and the church, with separate entry tickets available for each section. It is best to allow enough time to walk through all parts of the site.
The grounds feature an overlook with a bronze figure showing a boy in oversized work clothes. The sculpture marks a spot where young Presley often sat with his guitar and thought about his future.
