Why are you not allowed upstairs in Graceland?

Graceland is a mansion on a 13.8-acre (5.6-hectare) estate in Memphis, Tennessee, United States, which was once owned by the rock and roll singer Elvis Presley. His daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, inherited Graceland after his death in 1977.

Graceland is located at 3764 Elvis Presley Boulevard in the Whitehaven neighborhood, about nine miles (14 kilometers) south of central Memphis and fewer than four miles (6.4 km) north of the Mississippi border.

It was there, in his bathroom, that Presley’s body was found on Aug. 16, 1977. After the home was opened to the public in 1982, the second floor was sealed shut out of respect to the family — and also to avoid any macabre attention at the scene of his death.

Visitors to Graceland have been able to tour the downstairs rooms and grounds of the estate since 1982, but the upstairs remains private. Lisa Marie has kept everything exactly as it was on a tragic morning in 1977 when her father died.
