Description
"Elvis Presley's Childhood home, Tupelo, Mississippi" by Catherine Sherman.
Morning mist dampens the childhood home of Elvis Presley in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Elvis Aaron Presley was born in this two-room house on January 8, 1935, to Vernon and Gladys Presley. It was built by his father, grandfather and uncle. This photograph was taken in mid-winter.
The house is now part of The Elvis Presley Birthplace, an historic museum site in Tupelo, dedicated to the preservation of the birthplace of American musician Elvis Presley. It is listed on the Mississippi Blues Trail.
The museum site also includes a museum, a chapel, and the Assembly of God Church building where the Presley family worshipped. The Presley family had to move out of the shotgun house when Elvis was only a few years old for lack of payment. Vernon and Gladys worked various jobs while in Tupelo and moved several different times during the thirteen years they resided in Mississippi.
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), also known simply as Elvis, was an American singer, musician and actor. He is regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century and is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King."
