Well worth the trip!: Graceland is a mansion that was previously owned by the great Elvis Presley. It was an opportunity for us to explore Elvis Presley’s home and learn everything about his music. We booked a tour of the mansion, the throne room, and the famous Jungle room. Our favorite part of the tour was the mansion itself. Loved our visit to Graceland!
