Graceland Too to Reopen; MacLeod Memorial Planned

HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) — The Holly Springs mansion that became a popular Elvis Presley museum will reopen to the public during Elvis Presley week with a memorial for owner Paul MacLeod.

MacLeod was found dead Thursday on his front porch. He was 71.

His funeral cannot be scheduled yet. Coroner James Anderson says a backlog at the state medical examiner’s office could hold up MacLeod’s autopsy for months.

An attorney and the city of Holly Springs say MacLeod’s family, friends and lifetime members will lead tours of Graceland Too on Aug. 12 to raise money for MacLeod’s funeral and estate expenses.

A news release says the day will end with a midnight candlelight vigil.

Graceland Too is not affiliated with Graceland or the Presley estate. It’s between Graceland and Elvis’ birthplace in Tupelo.
