This is a local museum, including an Elvis section, in an area now known as "Elvis Presley Heights"; not specifically an Elvis Presley Museum! $10.00 is a bit steep! Tupelo is losing a lot of its Elvis connections – The fairground, most of the houses – The pink & black one at 1010 North Green St, on the edge of Shakerag, (itself long gone) now also seems to have disappeared. I hope this new museum doesn't get put on the "Tour Bus" route, just so the travel company has somewhere to bus the fans. (The car museum in Tupelo also comes to mind; it's got very little to do with Elvis & if I want to see a car museum I'll go to Beaulieu!) Yours, ripped off too often!

Buffalo-Horn, I do agree a 100% with you on this ! This is only another way of money making out of Elvis fans ! Very cheap tactics !
