This is a super cool place to check out. We aren't huge Allman Brothers Band fans so we kind of joked about the fact they had a Museum. We were not disappointed. My boyfriend plays guitar and he was so excited at how man they had on display. He was also surprised at how many they had open and not enclosed in glass cases. They had so many thing on display from their records and 9utfits they wore for shows to guitars and drums. They had a display of keys they took from hotels from their tours. They allow you to do a tour of the house on your own. They give you a sheet of paper with the numbered walls with a description of what you're looking at. The employees were super nice, the building was well kept and clean. They kid the grouds well landscaped and clean. It is a very cool thing to check out I definitely reccomend seeing this!

An amazing collection of Allman Brothers history. Very well preserved and beautifully displayed memorabilia that not only includes instruments, clothing, photographs and gold records but the museum is in the actual house where the band lived for several years. The upstairs rooms are still fully furnished. Upon arriving we were greeted by a very friendly gentleman who welcomed us and explained the layout of the place. We were given printed, detailed information on the exhibits and rooms to refer to as we self-guided ourselves through. Very reasonable admission price. This was definitely worth the drive down from Atlanta.

If you're an Allman Brothers fan, you need to make a trip to see this place, it's really awesome. I had the pleasure of talking about life and music with Rex, who has many stories about the band and Macon along many other things. The memorabilia that they have acquired is super impressive and will take you through a trip from the beginning of the band up until the end. My only regret is that I didn't go to the cemetery to pay my respects to the Brothers who are buried there. If you have time, make that part of your visit.

I was never a big Allman Brothers fan, but my wife is. When I found out it was in their former residence, a big Tudor-stye house, I was intrigued. It is a fascinating, intimate museum of this legendary band, filled with artifacts of a bygone Era which most can relate to in some way. Reading the letters, handwritten lyrics, and hearing their recorded voices in intimate conversations echoing through the rooms filled with their personal belongings and musical instruments was quite captivating.

This was the 2nd time I've been to the Big House. If you're an Allman Brothers Band fan, it's a must. If you've never been it's a museum FULL of everything ABB related. Everything from instruments, to clothing, to pay stubs, albums, letters, contracts, too much to list is in there. Just standing in Duane Allman's bedroom will give you chills. Being in the same space that greats like Ramblin' Man, Blue Sky, Midnight Rider, and Ain't Waistin' Time No More were written, was really cool.

If you love the Allman Brothers then this is the place you need to visit! This home is packed with all kinds of memorabilia from the great Brothers' past along with some Gov't Mule items as well! It is a self-guided tour but you are given a sheet explaining what is in every room inside the house. Out back is a stage where performances are held throughout the year! If you are ever in the area and are interested in the history of the Allman Brothers, you definitely need to come here!
