Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Elvis Presley Birthplace
The place of birth of Elvis at Tupelo combines house, museum, chapel and local memory places, which makes it a coherent immersion in its first trajectory. The journey is designed to touch the intimate scale of the family as well as the mythical dimension of the artist.
Place indismissible
Tupelo National Battlefield
The battlefield of Tupelo preserves a simple and stripped memorial space: monument, mast and two cannons anchor the understanding of the conflict. The visit helps to visualize the geography of the Union's victory in the northeast of Mississippi and its role in the campaign of the time.
Place indismissible
Pharr Mounds
The Pharr Mounds gather an ancient tumulus complex that materializes a pre-colonial presence in northern Mississippi. The site invites a sober archaeological reading, where the forms of earth tell more than the signs and point to a long occupation.
