Historic Treasure
Our Take
Today, the museum is in two houses, although at one point Motown owned most of the homes up and down this street. The label’s operations were inspired by Ford’s assembly line, so each house had a purpose. One little building that has been preserved is where a lot of the recording took place, and they still have original instruments and equipment that Motown artists would have used. It’s incredible to think about the number of legends who passed through here. If you have time, chat with the employees… they have all kinds of history and interesting stories to tell.
