About Elvis Presley Birthplace

Elvis Presley was born in 1935 in this two-room house in East Tupelo, which his father Vernon built with $180 borrowed from his boss. The house now sits in a 15-acre park with a reflecting pond. Tickets cover the house, a museum and the Assembly of God church building, moved here in the 2000s, where the family worshiped and young Elvis found his first musical inspiration. A chapel also stands on the grounds, and the site is on the Mississippi Blues Trail.
