Background
The house at 2321 Vineville Avenue, a three-story Tudor-style home, became the center of the Allman Brothers Band’s activities after members of the band, their families, friends, and roadies moved in beginning in 1970. It was here, during the years from 1970 to 1973, that much of the band’s early history unfolded. After the property changed hands over the years, The Big House Foundation acquired it with the goal of preserving its history, and the museum opened to the public in 2009. Today it stands as a place of pilgrimage for fans and a celebration of Macon’s rich musical heritage.
