DETROIT, Mich. — Visitors can walk through Hitsville U.S.A. in Detroit, the house at 2648 W. Grand Blvd. where Motown began, again starting Thursday, Dec. 17, the Motown Museum announced Nov. 10. Admission is $25, with tickets already available online.
The house has been off limits to visitors since January while crews restored the space as part of the museum’s larger renovation. Much of the work centered on Studio A, where Motown artists recorded in the 1960s.
Visitors will find new stories on the tour plus a permanent upstairs gallery, Hello Detroit. According to the museum, it examines why Detroit was the right city for the Motown sound to emerge, with images and artifacts.
Museum chair and CEO Robin Terry said the renovation has been guided by a responsibility to protect the authenticity and spirit of the building. She said the little house where Motown started will remain at the center of the museum’s story even after a much bigger addition arrives.
That addition, the $75 million Motown Experience, is a 50,000-square-foot expansion scheduled to open in summer 2027. December visitors will tour the restored historic house, and construction continues on the campus nearby. Children under 4 get in free.
