Elvis's Birthplace


While we were driving through Mississippi we saw some signs on the side of the road that said “Birthplace of Elvis next exit” so we decided to stop and check it out.  The signs lead us to a little neighborhood with a little white house.  We bought tickets to go in and listen to the lady tell us all about Elvis’s childhood in that house.  We stood right in the room where Elvis was born (along with his twin brother who was a stillborn).  It was the tiniest house I’ve ever seen.   There was a front room where the bed was and the back room was the kitchen.  Elvis grew up in that house until he was 13 when his parents decided to move to Memphis for better opportunity.






This was the church Elvis grew up going to
