This summer, my family and I decided to visit Elvis’ home, known as Graceland. Although the house had already been constructed when Elvis purchased it, his additions and design has made Graceland shine from the exterior and interior. As someone who grew up admiring Elvis and his music, being able to experience his house was an important moment for me. Graceland was purchased as a way for Elvis’ family to have the big home they deserved and a way for him to experience a normal family life with his wife and daughter. Although the decor is rather extravagant and expensive, walking through and seeing pictures of him and his family living in the rooms as normal people gave a surreal experience. In Graceland, Elvis was just a regular guy, not a Rock-star, and it felt that way walking through. I’ve included three pictures, one of the exterior, the living room, and my personal favorite room in the house. This room is known as the ‘TV Room’ and what made it my favorite is because the entire ceiling, and some of the wall, is covered in mirrors. Overall, I enjoyed being able to experience his house and learning more about his family life and I think it offers the opportunity to remember how human he really was.
