What's New in Tupelo 2026

Tupelo Hardware turns 100 and also marks the 80th Anniversary of Gladys, Elvis’ mother, purchasing his first guitar for his 11th birthday at the store. Visitors are welcome during the store's regular hours to listen to tales told by store employees, whilst standing in the spot where Elvis first strummed a guitar.
The new Chickasaw Heritage Centre is being built in Tupelo, the historic center of the Chickasaw Nation. In a symbolic return to the Homeland, the Chickasaw Heritage Center (CHC) will be located off the Natchez Trace Parkway three miles south of the Natchez Trace Visitors Centre.
