Motown Historical Museum
Motown Records, or Hitsville, USA was born in Detroit in the two simple houses that now form the Motown Historical Museum. See the recording studio (complete with worn floor from toe-tapping) where legendary musicians like The Supremes, Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson developed their unique sound. Also on display are a number of personal items like the US$800 loan given to founder Berry Gordy to produce his first record.
