ELVIS FANS WATCH THIS! Full V.I.P Tour of Elvis' Birthplace Museum and Park in Tupelo, Ms.!
Hello Everyone,
We hope you are doing well. Today we present to you another one in our series of videos about the Life of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Aaron Presley! In today's video, we are at Elvis' Birthplace in Tupelo Ms. This is the location of the house where Elvis was born and spent the first three years of his life. This is also a story of how Elvis played a coming home concert in his hometown and gave the proceeds to the Mayor of Tupelo Ms. to build a community park on the land that his house sat on! He did not do this because he was worried about his legacy or anything of the sort. He did this because he just wanted to give back to the community that helped raise him!
With that said, here is more info about Elvis Presley Birthplace on their website.

THE LITTLE SHOTGUN HOUSE
In 1934, Vernon Presley borrowed $180 for materials to build a small frame house in East Tupelo. Vernon’s father Jessie and Vester, his brother, helped with building the little shotgun house. It was in this humble two-room home lit by a single light bulb in each room that Elvis Aron Presley was born on January 8, 1935. Elvis was one of twin brothers born to the Presleys. His brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn.
The family lived in the house about three years until the home was repossessed when Vernon could not repay the $180 loan. Vernon and Gladys worked various jobs while in Tupelo and moved several different times during the thirteen years they resided in Mississippi. The Presley family lived in other locations in Tupelo until Elvis was thirteen years old when they moved to Memphis.
EARLY INFLUENCES AND ELVIS’ RADIO DEBUT
On October 3, 1945, Elvis made his first public radio broadcast. At ten years old, Elvis stood on a chair and sang “Old Shep” in a youth talent contest at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show at the Tupelo Fairgrounds. WELO Radio broadcast the talent show, and Elvis won the second prize of $5 in fair ride tickets. His performance marks one of the first public musical performances for Elvis as a child.
TUPELO WELCOMES ELVIS HOME
Elvis returned to Tupelo in 1956 and 1957 to perform concerts at the Fairgrounds. Elvis donated the proceeds from the 1957 concert to the City of Tupelo to start a park in the East Tupelo area.
The City purchased 15 acres which included the house where Elvis was born. In 1971, the East Heights Garden Club began to improve the birthplace as a club project.
Over the years the club purchased furniture and other pieces to duplicate the house’s contents from when the Presleys lived there in the 30s.
We would like to thank The Executive Director of Elvis' Birthplace, Mr. Roy Turner for not only inviting us out but actually doing an interview with us. That interview will be coming to you very soon and he goes very in-depth about the grounds of the park and Elvis' connection to his home town. We would like to also thank the staff and the various other people who were affiliated with the Elvis' Birthplace complex, that took the time to talk to us or to help us in anyway in bring this video to you. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS!
So with that said, We would so also like to thank you for watching and to let you know that we even more Elvis content from Tupelo Ms. coming very soon!
We love you all, and thank you again for watching!
