This museum, also known as the Big House, is significant because it housed the Allman Brothers during a critical formative period, up until 1973. Memorabilia, events and stories from the past flood the southern Craftsman-style house where you can get a glimpse into the lives of these talented musicians.
The exhibits here are constantly changing as new exhibits and memorabilia become part of the collection. You can visit the Allman Brothers Band Museum several times, as you can enjoy new items each time. You’ll find everything from old records to guitars and handwritten lyrics, so any Allman Brothers fan can dive in with so much fun.
In addition to its exhibits, many rooms have been preserved to show how the band lived at home. The Kitchen was labeled “Ramblin’ Man ” and Duane Allman’s bedroom remains intact with many personal items. The room where the band rehearsed now houses suitcases of clothes and instruments.
It’s always nice to celebrate when an institution gives back to the community. The music education program for disadvantaged children has long been a Big House initiative. The Big House for Youth jam education program uses knowledgeable musicians to teach young children while giving them something positive to focus on.
The museum is open Thursday through Saturday from 11 am to 6 pm and Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm. Tickets are $15 for adults and children are $10. Military, students and retirees can get in for $13. After you tour the museum, head to the gift store for unique trinkets and shirts.
