Rock and roll legend Elvis Presley visited Leachville (Mississippi County) while on his way to Texas. He performed a three-song concert sponsored by the senior class and held at the gymnasium. He performed “That’s All Right,” “Hearts of Stone,” and “Tweedle Dee.” Leachville, incorporated in 1916, was once known as “The Cleanest Town on Buffalo Island, Where Agriculture and Industry Meet.”
