-
See the low-income apartment complex where Elvis lived as a teenager — and where he first began shaping his unique sound. From here, the dream began.
-
Stop outside the historic Arcade Restaurant, the oldest café in Memphis and a favorite spot for Elvis Presley. While living nearby at Lauderdale Courts, Elvis often came here with dates. The retro diner still looks much like it did in the 1950s and has appeared in several movies, making it one of the most recognizable landmarks in Memphis music history.
-
Humes High School Drive past the high school where Elvis graduated in 1953. Hear how his classmates remembered him — shy, quiet, but full of talent and ambition.
-
Overton Park ShellSee the stage where Elvis performed his first paid concert — and got booed for shaking his leg. This stop captures the birth of the rock 'n' roll revolution.
-
Sun StudioView the legendary studio where Elvis recorded his first songs. Learn the story behind "That's All Right" and how Sam Phillips changed music history forever.
-
Beale StreetCruise down historic Beale Street and spot landmarks like Lansky Brothers (where Elvis bought his clothes) and the “Elvis on Beale” movie set from Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis.
-
Hear the lesser-known stories of Elvis at the Peabody — from teenage dates to the time he got into a scuffle that ended in the lobby. Iconic Memphis history.
