The Motown Historical Museum was founded in 1985 by a woman named Esther
Gordy Edwards. She founded the museum to help preserve the rich history of the
Motown Record Corporation and to educate area youth on the values of
creativity and entrepreneurship. The museum attracts thousands of interested
visitors each and every year. The home of the museum is the house that was
originally used by Berry Gordy Jr to record music. The house was originally
dubbed Hitsville USA by Mr. Gordy. Inside the house you will find a number of
interesting attractions. You can see photographs, costumes, art and music from
this exciting era in music history. For example, you can see the original
recording studio used by such artists as the Supremes, Stevey Wonder and the
Jackson 5. The studio has been left just as it was including the worn out
linoleum. You can also see the costumes made famous by the artists who used
the studio. The museum is a treasure trove of historical musical artifacts
waiting to be enjoyed by you. Take the time to visit the museum when you come
to Detroit. You will not regret it.
