About Graceland

Graceland is a mansion within the 13.8-acre estate in Memphis, Tennessee and was formerly owned by the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley. Situated along the aptly named Elvis Presley Boulevard in Whitehaven, just a few miles south of downtown Memphis, the mansion has been converted into a tourist attraction and is the ultimate pilgrimage for music lovers and die-hard fans of the King. Elvis bought the property in 1957, when he was aged 22, and lived here for most of his life until his death, when he was found lifeless in the bathroom of Graceland on August 16, 1977.

On November 7, 1991, the estate was included in the National Register of Historic Places and eventually declared a National Historic Landmark on March 27, 2006. The estate was then transformed into a museum and entertainment complex dedicated to the King’s life and opened to the public in 1982. As one of Memphis’ most popular tourist destinations, it’s no surprise that there are numerous tours of Graceland available to visitors. Tour guests can explore his former home and the different mementos and memorabilia that tell the life of Elvis – from his iconic Jungle room where he and his band frequently recorded songs to more personal items such as his costumes, Priscilla’s wedding dress and Lisa Marie’s childhood toys. 

Fun fact: Graceland is the second-most visited home in the entire country, with more than 600,000 visitors per year, second only to the White House.
