Elvis Presley’s Birthplace

This was an excellent experience for an Elvis fan! I took my mother both here and Graceland, and both of us enjoyed this more, by far. It was smaller and more intimate and has not succumbed to the theme park aesthetic. The presentation in the church was well done, the museum was not bogged down in minutiae, the chapel was lovely, and the birth home was humble and our host was knowledgeable and entertaining!

Very small, but free and compared the the insane lines and fee to get into Graceland your better off saving your cash and coming here instead. It's a pretty little church, and there are a few statues on the property. I like to imagine the sprit of the King is probably hanging out here quite often.

Beautiful museum

It was interesting to see the humble beginnings of the King. Just a two-room house including a bedroom and kitchen. The museum was really neat! I loved looking at all the old costumes Elvis wore.

I loved visiting Elvis’ first home and where he was born. We payed $20 per adult or $15 for senior for all 3 tours. We started in the museum. It is small, but has lots to look at and a video also. Then we went outside to the house. There are 2 rooms to see and try to visualize his hard life up to the age 13. You then wander around looking at a car that may be similar to what his family used, a statue of him as a 13 year old, an outhouse, and then we were able to enter the church at 10:00 for an historical interpretation of a church service his family attended regularly when he was small. This was incredibly immersive as there are screens in front and on the sides. ( I loved it, My husband thought it needed to show Elvis more). Then we went up the hill to another statue and the reflection pond. There is also a movie of his early life in a theater that we did not view. This is very well done.

This was an awesome place to stretch our legs. We didn’t go on the tour, but there’s enough outside that you wouldn’t really have to. The Reflection Pond was my favorite part of it.

Beautiful free Museum that starts the Elvis journey.
Stop here and see where it all started. They have done a great job showcasing the childhood home and many other milestones. If you like Elvis or are headed to Memphis, you really need to start here.

Rather go here than Graceland. Not expensive, commercial or crowded

Meh not worth the stop

Not what we expected. Reviews led us to believe it was nothing like Graceland. Not so, you are expected to pay admission for each building, with all paths leading back to the gift shop. Basically a mini Graceland. Went through the gift shop, walked around outside and left. A waste of 3 -4 hours of driving out of our way. BEEN there DONE that not going back.
