Tupelo
is located in northeast Mississippi's Lee County. It's the seventh-largest city in the state with a population of 34,546 as of the 2010 census. The city of Tupelo is probably most well-known for being the birthplace of Elvis Presley. Today, Tupelo is a vibrant city that offers many attractions, including the birthplace of singer/actor Elvis Presley. Tupelo is also the headquarters of the historic Natchez Trace Parkway, which connects Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee. The Parkway follows the ancient route used by the indigenous peoples who lived here long before the arrival of Europeans. The area surrounding the city of Tupelo is filled with historic sites and battlefields, including the Tupelo and Brices Cross Roads National Battlefields of the Civil War. The Tupelo Automobile Museum is one of the largest of its kind, housing more than 150 rare automobiles. All of the rare autos are from the personal collection of Frank K. Spain. Other attractions in Tupelo include HealthWorks! Kids Museum, the Tupelo Buffalo Park & Zoo, a historic downtown district and over 100 restaurants that offer everything from ethnic food to southern "down home" cooking. For many, however, visiting Tupelo is all about Elvis Presley, the "King of Rock & Roll." Born in Tupelo January 8, 1935, Elvis spent the first 13 years of his life here. The Elvis Presley Birthplace and Museum features an "Elvis at 13" statue, Walk of Life, a Story Wall, Elvis Presley Memorial Chapel and more. There is also an Elvis Driving Tour in Tupelo that takes you to ten significant points of interest in the entertainer's early years.
