Yeah, sure you may have memories about the era and the Allman Brothers ... but this museum talks to people in different ways. It allows for low impact, i.e., not "in-your-face" message(s). It simply lays out various artifacts and information in what had been an Allman Brothers' abode. On another note - all will immediately get that this home looked... More

We visited as part of a conference group and had a meal catered outside on the grounds with an Allman Brothers cover band entertaining us. The house/museum itself was full of 70's history and a little reminiscent of the Motown Museum in Detroit, although not on nearly as big a scale. The furnishings were quite authentic and mementos from that... More

The Big House is a must for all Allman Brothers Band fans but others will find it interesting also. The collection of ABB items is great and the staff (all volunteers) are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and we should have allowed more time there. More

Being an old Allman Brothers fanatic and well versed in all of the mythology and history, I have wanted to see this since it opened. Ostensibly under the guise of a Spring break trip with my wife and 2 early teens from Michigan to go to the Smokies and "some of Georgia" we wound up in Macon for me and... More

I was with the Brothers in Piedmont Park in 1970. All I can say is, Just Go! If you love the ABB, it's a MUST SEE. If you don't know who they are/were, listen to as much of their music as you can, and Just Go! More

I had to make a trip down to Macon, Georgia fom New York. I had a little free time and was looking for something in Macon to do. I decided to Visit the ABB Museum at the Big House. This is where the ABB and their extended family lived in the early 1970's. I thought OK, what could they have... More

We were roaming around the area and came upon this place. What a cool way to preserve band memorabilia . It's a big old house that the band lived in. Tons of mementos and things to look at. The person at the front desk was so enthusiastic, it made us more interested. No need to e a huge Allman Brothers... More

This is a must for anyone who loves music. I've followed the Allman Brothers Band from the beginning. The museum is located in what was called The Big House, where several of the band members lived. Each room has more things than you'll ever get to see. I suggest getting one of the audio tour devices. It's an mp3 player... More
