On our way to Red Bay, Alabama for our yearly service stop, we had to go through Tupelo. It would be a shame to drive through Tupelo without stopping to see the birthplace of Elvis Presley. Elvis was born in a small, two room house in Tupelo in 1935. The city has purchased the land around the house and now has a beautiful park and museum on the site. Everything they do here celebrates the first 13 years of Elvis’ life because that’s when he and his family moved to Memphis.
