After the death of Jackson, two entrepreneurs from Chicago, organized tours to the former house of the king of pop music.
The small house is located in the industrial town of Gary. Prior to the release of the most selling album of all times “Thriller”, Michael Jackson lived there.

During the tour, tourists will see Metallurgical Combine, where Joe Jackson, the star’s father worked, the maternity hospital, where Michael Jackson, his brothers and sisters were born and the school they went.
Also, the house in which “Jackson 5″ team made its first debut and an independent recording studio “Steeltown Records”, where in 1967 the first singles of the group were recorded. The culmination of the tour is a trip to the house of the family of Jackson.
