Elvis Presley's Graceland was opened to the public back in 1982. Within a year or two after that, my parents were taken there by my Great Aunt and Uncle.

My first visit was in 2001 and I returned there in 2016.

Graceland is celebrating 37 years as one of America's iconic tour destinations. A press release was posted by the Associated Press.

It begins with:
MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 5, 2019-- Elvis Presley’s Graceland ® opened for public tours on June 7, 1982, and since that day over 20 million people have visited the mansion, known as the second most recognized home in the United States (after the White House). In the past 37 years, the Graceland campus has expanded considerably, offering a wealth of new and different experiences and entertainment for visitors, who will find there truly is always something happening at Graceland.
