Graceland Mansion

A view of the front view of the mansion. It's not as big as you expect it to be, but still has that stately air about it.

Graceland Lounge

A throwback to the 70s. Comfy leather chairs and deep carpets. Not a massive lounge by any means, but it still had a feeling of opulence.

Media Room

Imagine this being called a media room in this day and age, it would be laughed at. It shows how far technology has come in 40 years.

Gold Discs

So many discs were on display throughout all the outbuildings dotted around Graceland. It really brought how phenomenally successful Elvis had been.

Stage Outfits

Familiar costumes that Elvis wore in concert. You could picture him on stage in Vegas in these, they had a familiar look about them.

US Army Uniform

Elvis’ Army uniform. He was drafted in 1958 and discharged in 1960 after having chosen to enter the army as a regular soldier rather than take the easy way out and perform for the troops.

Lisa Marie Plane

Across the road from Graceland stand Elvis' two planes. The last time the Lisa Marie flew was 1977 when it transported Priscilla and Lisa Marie to his funeral. It has been standing here since 1984 and is starting to show its age.

Mississippi Panorama

Paddle boat waiting to take passengers on a Mississippi boat tour. The tour would have been so much better had we been able to hear the commentary over all the chatting of other passengers.

Memphis Pyramid

Looking a little conspicuous, reaching 321ft in height and sitting on the banks of the Mississippi, the pyramid looks strange in such a setting.

Peabody Ducks

Roll up! Roll up! Come and see the Peabody Ducks march from the fountain to the lift that whisks them up to the Duck penthouse at the top of the hotel. We waited 25 minutes to see this!
