f you’re looking for fun things to do in Memphis and enjoy visiting celebrity homes, don’t miss touring Elvis’s 14-acre estate in Memphis, Tennessee. Touring Graceland is a one-of-a-kind experience that will lead you on Elvis’s fascinating journey to super stardom. Graceland is the name of the large white-columned estate that once belonged to Elvis Presley, located at 3734 Elvis Presley Boulevard in Memphis, Tennessee, USA.
When Elvis was a boy, he told his parents that one day he would make a lot of money and buy them the finest house in town. Buying Graceland in 1957 was, for Elvis, the fulfillment of that dream and proof of how far he had come. Settled on 14 acres, the mansion that the Presley called home is the second most famous house in America and one of the most visited homes in America today.
The front room features a white marble fireplace and Louis XIV furniture. After buying Graceland, Elvis added several rooms including a trophy room and racquetball court. In addition, Elvis erected a pink Alabama field stone wall around the property and also the famous wrought-iron, guitar gates at a cost of $3,052.
