February 8th in Elvis History

February 8th in Elvis History

It’s February eighth, and on this day in 1967… Elvis Presley, while on a horse-buying trip in Mississippi with Priscilla and several of the boys, stumbled upon a 160-acre cattle ranch called Twinkletown Farm, just ten miles south of Graceland. Drawn in by the sight of a 65-foot lighted cross standing tall on the property, Elvis made an impulsive decision—he bought the ranch on the spot, putting down \$5,000 toward the \$250,000 price tag.

He soon renamed it Circle G Ranch, with the “G” standing for Graceland, and over the following weeks, transformed it into a cowboy paradise. Elvis spared no expense, investing \$437,000 in trailers for his entourage, pickup trucks, a stocked fishing pond, and fifty head of cattle. When he learned a Texas ranch already held the Circle G brand, he later modified the name to the Flying Circle G. It became a rustic retreat where Elvis could ride, relax, and live out his cowboy dreams just a short drive from home.
