You soon will be able to visit Elvis home without leaving your own.
Graceland on Thursday announced it will host three live virtual tours of the Elvis Presley estate, on Jan. 27, Feb. 25 and March 25.
The effort was developed as governmentally mandated and self-imposed restrictions on travel and tourist activity have greatly reduced attendance and revenue at Graceland, even as the mansion and its associated attractions have remained opened, within limits, throughout most of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, the virtual tour idea was on the Graceland drawing board even before the arrival of the novel coronavirus, reports the Memphis Commercial Appeal, which is part of the USA TODAY Network.
