Remembering Music Legend Elvis Presley
Graceland, settled in Memphis, Tennessee, served as Elvis Presley’s home before he passed in August 1977. The mansion sits on 13.8 acres and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2006.
The property is now a museum and tourist attraction, and remains one of the most visited private homes in the United States.
Graceland is operated by Elvis Presley Enterprises and displays a collection of his cars, costumes, records and Elvis’ gravesite.

Graceland Remains A Popular Tourist Attraction
Graceland is owned and operated by Elvis Presley Enterprises, on behalf of his estate. Elvis’s granddaughter Riley Keough is a current heir of the Presley estate.
Touring Graceland is a one of a kind experience, where visitors can learn a bit of history combined with an intimate look at the King of Rock ’n’ Roll’s private life.
Tourists begin across the street at the Graceland Exhibition Complex, where they can view Elvis’s gold and platinum records, iconic jumpsuits, handwritten lyrics, and memorabilia from his legendary music and movie career.
Inside the mansion, guests can walk through preserved rooms including the living room, dining room, and the famous “Jungle Room,” known for its Polynesian decor and indoor waterfall.
The tour also includes the TV room, where Elvis relaxed with family and friends, and a glimpse into his basement areas used for music and leisure.
Tourists can see Elvis’s collection of classic cars and motorcycles, as well as his private airplanes, including the customized Lisa Marie jet.
Graceland Debuts New Iconic Exhibit
Elvis would have celebrated his 91st birthday this year on January 8. In honor of his special day, Graceland has debuted a new exhibit featuring a rare look into his life.
Timed with the release of Epic: Elvis Presley in Concert, the exhibit draws on years of archival work. Directed by Baz Luhrmann, the film is set to release in February 2026.
Angie Marchese, Graceland’s vice president of archives and exhibitions, said the project features more than 59 hours of previously unreleased footage from Elvis’ concert tours, including rare performances filmed in Las Vegas.
“It’s literally mesmerizing,” Marchese said. “The only voice you hear in the movie is Elvis telling his story in his own words.”
Marchese explained the extensive restoration work inspired the new exhibit at Graceland, offering fans an opportunity to experience the film in person.
The exhibit includes his stage costumes, jewelry, and special memorabilia, highlighted by a gold belt presented to Elvis by the International Hotel in recognition of record-breaking attendance during his Las Vegas performances.
