Allman Brothers’ home museum- update
The Allman Brothers are touring constantly to bring their southern rock jam-band sound to fans across the country. Now, fans will be able to catch a glimpse into the life of the band they love, as the home they rose to fame in has been turned into a museum.
The Big House in Macon, GA, was purchased by bassist Berry Oakley and his wife in 1970. It was the place where the band developed their sound, living together with wives, girlfriends and children. This is house where many hits were written, including their trademark track “Ramblin’ Man,” and it’s the last place Duane Allman visited in 1971 before dying in a motorcycle crash.
The three-story Tudor house will feature more than 300,000 pieces of memorabilia collected by the band’s longtime tour manager Kirk West.
