Graceland To Debut New Limited-Time Display Honoring Elvis' American Legacy

Elvis Presley's Graceland is set to debut a new limited-time display, The American Spirit of Elvis Presley, during Memorial Day Weekend in celebration of America's 250th anniversary.

The display will be part of all Graceland Mansion tours beginning Memorial Day Weekend and running through Fourth of July Weekend.

The display at Elvis' Racquetball Court will explore Elvis' love of country and storied history of patriotism, bringing together a curated selection of artifacts that reflect the defining moments from the legendary musician's life and career.

At the display, guests can see the giant American flag used during Elvis' 1974 concerts at the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis and the iconic Memphis Jumpsuit the musician wore during those shows.

Clips of Elvis' impromptu meeting with President Richard Nixon, pieces connected to his Pearl Harbor benefit concert, and the commemorative plaque honoring the USS Arizona, will also be on display.
