Elvis Museum
Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
No list of American icons would be complete without Elvis, and this small museum boasts the largest private collection of paraphernalia that belonged to the King. A highlight is Elvis’s Honeymoon Cadillac Coupe de Ville, which is in its original condition except for a restored black vinyl top. Also, check out the Red Fender guitar, a custom hollow-body design for both electric and acoustic use. You’ll also find many pieces of his iconic gold jewelry, his red tour jacket, the 1972 sparkle-crusted tour jumpsuit, and personal items from his hobbies and travels.

Visitor Information Open 9 am – 9 pm daily
Admission: Children $12, Students $15, Adults $17
