The plaque reads” Elvis Presley Tie Clip worn at his well loved Circle G Ranch in Mississippi.”

On February 8, 1967 Elvis bought the Circle G Ranch in Mississippi, just minutes across the Tennessee state line from Graceland. Elvis, his family and friends spent a lot of time at the ranch in 1967 throughout 1968, indulging in horseback riding and “ranching”.

Soon after the purchase of Circle G, Elvis stocked the stables with 40 horses and began buying mobile homes (for Alan Fortas, Elvis’ cousin Billy Smith and his wife Jo, Stevie and Larry Geller, Joanie and Joe Esposito, Richard Davis, and Jerry Schilling and Sandy). He also bought El Caminos or Ranchero trucks (some branded with a Circle G logo) for everyone to get around the expansive country landscape, tractors, and all sorts of gear for their newfound country lifestyle including Stetsons and western coats. Within a few weeks, Elvis had spent nearly a million dollars.

After the initial spending binge was over, it did turn into the peaceful, communal refuge Elvis intended. On May 1, 1967, Elvis and Priscilla were married in Las Vegas.

In Priscilla’s book, Elvis and Me, she reminisced about the ranch and its unassuming farmhouse, which upon first sight, “I pictured us saddling our own horses and riding in the early evening or at dusk. My picture was of us alone, without an entourage,” she wrote. But Elvis saw it as the best of both worlds. He could hang with the group when he wanted and have his alone time with Priscilla — the couple moved out of the house (which became known as the “Honeymoon Cottage”) and into one of the mobile homes, where, she wrote, “It turned out to be very romantic. I loved playing house. I personally washed all his clothes, along with the towels and sheets, and took pride in ironing his shirts and rolling up his socks the way my mother had taught me. Here was an opportunity to take care of him myself. No maids or housekeepers to pamper us.”
