"After touring the Mansion, check out the other great parts of the 14-acre estate as you tour Vernon Presley’s business office and Elvis’ racquetball building. The final stop on the tour of Graceland Mansion is Meditation Garden where Elvis and members of his family have been laid to rest.

"After a tour of Graceland Mansion, visit our new 200,000 square foot entertainment complex, Elvis Presley’s Memphis. Elvis Presley’s Memphis enables you to follow the life path that Elvis took, surround yourself with the things that he loved, and experience the events, sights and sounds of the city that inspired him."

"Graceland is a mansion on a 13.8-acre (5.6-hectare) estate in Memphis, Tennessee, United States, once owned by American singer Elvis Presley. Presley is buried there, as are his parents, paternal grandmother, grandson, and daughter.

"Graceland is located at 3764 Elvis Presley Boulevard in the Whitehaven, Memphis neighborhood, about nine miles (14 kilometres) south of central Memphis and fewer than four miles (6.4 km) north of the Mississippi border. It was opened to the public as a house museum on June 7, 1982, and attracts more than 650,000 visitors annually," Wikipedia says.

"Graceland was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1991, becoming the first site recognized for significance related to rock music. It was declared a National Historic Landmark on March 27, 2006, also a first for such a site."

"Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), often referred to mononymously as Elvis, was an American singer and actor. Known as the "King of Rock and Roll", he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. Presley's energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, led him to both great success and initial controversy," Wikipedia says.

"Having sold roughly 500 million records worldwide, Presley is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He was commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, rhythm & blues, adult contemporary, and gospel. He won three Grammy Awards, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.

"He also holds several records, including the most RIAA-certified gold and platinum albums, the most albums charted on the Billboard 200, the most number-one albums by a solo artist on the UK Albums Chart, and the most number-one singles by any act on the UK Singles Chart. In 2018, Presley was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom."

"Graceland, mansion that was Elvis Presley’s home from 1957 to 1977. Today it is a major tourist attraction in Memphis, Tennessee, U.S.," the Britannica says.

Presley’s music changed the face of the 20th century, and he has become one of the most popular and enduring figures in America’s entertainment industry. Graceland was his primary home for 20 years, and the estate became an essential part of the singer’s identity.

"Following Elvis’s death at the house in 1977, Priscilla—who was by that time divorced from the singer—took over the management of the estate and turned it into a moneymaking enterprise. It was opened to the public in 1982, and in 2006 the couple’s daughter, Lisa-Marie, turned over management of Graceland to an entertainment company."

Elvis Presley's Graceland: 10 Things You Didn't Know About the Legendary Home

"Eager to find a rural refuge away from wild fans and the pressure of fame, 22-year-old Elvis Presley purchased his Graceland estate on March 19, 1959, for $102,500 — or more than $900,000 in today's money. The property came with its famous moniker already in place. When Dr. Thomas Moore and his wife Ruth built the Colonial Revival style mansion in 1939, they named it after Ruth's aunt, Grace Toof, whose father had owned the land previously used for farming," the People Magazine says.

"After reading that President Lyndon B. Johnson had three television sets to allow him to watch all three major network news programs at once, Presley borrowed the idea for his downstairs media room. He spent much time happily watching TV — unless Robert Goulet came on. Presley had an intense dislike of the musically inclined actor for reasons best known to him.

"In February 1976, RCA dispatched a mobile recording unit to Graceland and transformed the large room into a temporary recording studio (the shag carpeting acted as a natural sound absorber). The songs are believed to have been released from Elvis Presley Boulevard in Memphis, Tennessee. Another session would be held that October. It would prove to be the last before his death less than one year later. Four tracks featured from these dates were released on the posthumous album, Moody Blue."

"It’s been 40 years since Graceland mansion first eased open its door to the public, beckoning to the line of curious visitors that they could—at long last—venture past the Corinthian columns and step into Elvis Presley’s private playground. Despite the passing of four decades, remarkably, there’s been no ebb in the steady flow of inquisitive tourists," the Architectural Digest says.



"In real life, 600,000 visitors visit the relatively modest Colonial Revival style property on the outskirts of Memphis annually. So what keeps them coming? Arguably, Graceland remains one of the most significant homes of the 20th century, despite being written off as a kitsch fest in some quarters. For lovers of design, what Graceland really offers is an unparalleled catalogue of interior trends from the late ’50s through to the late ’70s, in their purest and most authentic forms.

"Flamboyantly themed rooms, meticulous color scheming, gadgetry, esoteric meditation zones, sumptuous shag-pile carpeting playfully splashed across walls, furniture dripping in gold—Graceland offers a plush ringside seat to the zeitgeist of its era."

"So much fun, well organized. Lots to see, spent the whole day there. Nice food in restaurant. Plenty parking."

" The house is quite compact and like waking into a time capsule. It's small and your only allowed downstairs but it still gives you a feel of Elvis living there. The grounds are lovely and the tour is well organised . We spent a few hours walking round the museums and looking at the cars and memorabilia. Thoroughly enjoyable trip."

"Graceland was a place worth visiting. I really enjoyed visiting his garden and particularly the museum where they had every costume that he ever wore or had made for him and there were a lot! There were multiple gift shops on site and several restaurants (but we did not choose to eat there). I am not really an Elvis fan, but it was unique and interesting if you are looking for that or are a big Elvis fan as is my husband."

"If you're an Elvis fan then you'll love this place. If not, then it's just a place of interest. I'm the latter. It is, however, a must see if travelling to Memphis."

"A full on trip, lots to see, I was totally blown away with it a must visit especially if you are an Elvis fan like me. Loved ever second of the trip."

"Our tour of Graceland and the Elvis Museum was phenomenal! The tour of Graceland itself was about an hour - a shuttle took us over from the visitor center to the mansion and back again. It was very easy to spend over three hours at the museum just to have time to look at all of the exhibits and memorabilia. The display of Elvis's vehicles - cars, motorcycles, and his airplanes - was fabulous. There is so much to see that it could easily be an all-day trip."
