My husband is a huge Elvis fan. Always travel to Graceland and then to birthplace. Enjoyable to read and see the history of Elvis life. Very affordable. Nice upgrade to the outside and loved the church service.

Very nice little area with his childhood home, church and small museum with lovely outdoor area nicely landscaped. I recommend this over the overpriced Graceland anyway. Really enjoyed it. The church video was a little long but other than that, really nice.

Having been to Graceland a few years ago this was a must visit. We actually went out off are way to stay the one night in Tupelo so I could visit Elvis place of birth. I wasn’t disappointed and surprisingly even my husband enjoyed it unlike Graceland, which he thought was very tacky. There is an entrance charge which in all fairness is not that much especially as the fee goes towards helping the community, but if you don’t want to go into the chapel or his birthday home it’s all free to walk around. There is a nice little gift shop that has some nice things. Unfortunately for some reason the cafe was closed the day we went. Elvis music is pipped everywhere even the toilets :-)).

We did an Elvis from Birth to Death pilgrimage, and this is where we began. Elvis began in this 300 sq ft home and ended in the 17,552 sq ft Graceland home. A true rags to riches story! The staff was very sweet, and the southern belle who hosted us for the church presentation was just absolutely precious.

Elvis birth place and home has been restored to as close as possible to original. The docent was well informed and engaging. The grounds were well kept. In the museum you see many documents about the time a young boy grew up, very poor, and moved on to become one of the greatest entertainers in history. Lots of positive testimonials from locals who knew Elvis as a child. The recreation of a 1950 church service in the original church Elvis and family attended was well done. The docent helped make the 15 minute video "interactive" with the audience joining in the singing and claping in a pentecostal church service.

We were driving through Tupelo on our way to Arkansas so made a stop here. We did not pay to go inside any of the buildings or the museum but we did enjoy getting to see what we saw. Was worth the stop; pretty cool!

This is where it all began, and although much of it is a reconstruction, it is very well done indeed. There is no pressure or hard sell, and you easily understand what a poor background Elvis came from. A visit to the small church is an absolute must.

Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Interesting tour of VERY small home Elvis started in and a short presentation/talk in the church he attended on the grounds. Best part was my tour guide Ramona who went out of her way to greet us and answer all of our questions - including where I should have dinner that night (She called her friend to help out - who does that anymore!!!!??) Small museum is also on the grounds with interesting facts and possessions of Elvis.

Actually we parked at the nearby Veterans Memorial Park and walked 1/4 mile to the childhood home of Elvis. Our route is part of a 3- mile walking path and passes by the house. One can purchase a ticket or, as we did, walk the grounds for free. We observed the house, an Elvis statue, several plaques, a chapel, vintage Plymouth, and an outhouse.

You can tour the Elvis Presley birthplace house and his first church in Tupelo. On our visit at 12 p.m., the church had a speaker and movie presentation what a church service would have been like during Elvis childhood. The visit also includes a small museum and movie as well as a gift shop. Walking paths to several statues of Elvis are on the property. Free parking and $20 admission fee ($15 for senior citizens).
