Behind the Doors of Graceland, Elvis’ Kingdom of Rock

Graceland’s Musical Portal

To enter the house, you first need to pass through its one-of-a-kind gate, which has become a sensation in and of itself. With two rock and rollers on each side and whimsical music notes floating around, the gates of Graceland are iconic. A perfect start to an extraordinary tour.

Leave it to Elvis to customize such a unique looking entrance. He could have built a sturdy and impermeable door, but, instead, his see-through gate allowed fans to watch as he galloped on his horses or rode his golf-cart around the property with his daughter, Lisa.
