GARY, Ind. (WLS) -- New signs in Gary are recognizing the home of the "Jackson 5."



A gathering was held Thursday morning at the Northwest Indiana home at 2300 Jackson Street.



Marlon and Tito Jackson were there for the unveiling of one of several new signs.



The sign reads "Home of the World-Famous Jackson 5."



Signs like it will also be placed on major highways, including Interstate 80/94, as well as on local roads.
