The Elvis Presley Birthplace is part of the Elvis Presley Center and has been restored to the period before the singer's family's move to Memphis. The center includes the Elvis Presley Museum, Memorial Chapel and Elvis Presley Park, which offers complete recreation facilities for picnics and community events. Even after achieving worldwide fame, Elvis occasionally returned to the house to revisit his humble origins. The museum houses a unique collection of long-hidden treasures from Elvis's early life as well as his illustrious career. The museum is one of the most unique private collections of Elvis memorabilia in the world, and a premier tribute to the King.
