If you are an Elvis fan, this is a good compliment to go along with your Graceland visit. They had some construction going on the museum, but you could still see everything. More

We were there early morning of May 18, The gift shop and chapel was open. The house and church were not. The grounds were immaculate and very pleasant to the eye even with all the construction. If you are in the area worth a stop for rest. More

Excellent staff and scenery is this birthplace of the King! Nice buildings and now they are even updating and remodeling to give the visitor more to enjoy! Elvis memorabilia depicted on the wall and walk of fame is a great tribute. MUST SEE if you are visiting the Tupelo area! Just right off of the main highway and the great... More

Interesting visit to the small house where Elvis was born. It is so small in comparison to Graceland and to the houses of today. After visiting Graceland though the museum was somewhat of a disappointment. More

I have been to Graceland, but I also felt I had a real insight to Elvis visiting here. He was born in this house built by his father and grandfather, although they fell behind on the construction materials mortgage and had to move next door when he was 3. Elvis bought it and gave it to the city when he... More

Such a small quaint house, very modest in a very small area. Hard to believe how blessed Elvis was in seeing and knowing the hard life and upbringing he had. His parents were just coming out of a depression (like most American's back then) and his Father had off and on jobs that barely got them by. Then to see... More

Great attraction for Elvis fans. The film in the church Elvis attended was wonderful. The museum/gift shop was being remolded in May of 2012. More

Easy to get there but not much to it. If you are into Elvis then it's fine, very limited in offerings. Really nice people though. If you are close come by but not worth a special trip, unless you're really into Elvis. More

We came to Tupelo prior to going the Graceland. What a great choice! The trip is worth it simply for the chapel, we could have sat there for hours listening to Elvis sing gospel. We learned some history here that we would have never heard had we not just struck up a conversation with one of the curators. I would... More
