Private Presley Graceland Tours

This Memorial Day Weekend, Graceland honors Elvis Presley's U.S. Army service (1958–1960) with the return of Private Presley Tours. Running May 22–25 daily from 3–5 PM,* these guided tours take visitors through Graceland Mansion with live guides sharing stories from Elvis' military journey — from receiving his draft notice at Christmas 1957 to his homecoming press conference in his father's office. Special artifact displays commemorating his service will be featured throughout the mansion during the weekend.

Also debuting Memorial Day Weekend and in honor of America's 250th anniversary - The American Spirit of Elvis Presley, a new limited-time display in the Racquetball Building that will explore Elvis' broader love of country through curated artifacts and memorabilia.

For guests who want to go even deeper, the Private Presley exhibit at Elvis Presley's Memphis — located across the street from the mansion — offers a permanent look at Elvis' military service through photos, videos, and additional artifacts.
