TUPELO, MISSISSIPPI – BIRTHPLACE OF ELVIS PRESLEY TOUR

While Elvis Presley became the biggest name in music history and achieved worldwide fame and fortune, his roots in the Northeast Mississippi city of Tupelo were humble. Guests will experience the rural setting of Elvis' upbringing and see where it all began in the two-room house where the King of Rock ‘n' Roll was born on January 8, 1935, the church he attended in his youth and see artifacts from his modest beginnings.
