From 1970 to 1973, the red-brick Tudor revival house on Vineville Avenue was home to the Allman Brothers Band, their families, and a rotating cast of friends and roadies — 23 people at one point. Berry Oakley rented it first, and the other band members moved in as the band was recording its first albums for Capricorn Records and beginning to develop the sound that would define Southern rock. They called it the Big House.
The museum opened in 2009 and holds the largest collection of Allman Brothers memorabilia in existence: instruments, stage clothes, photographs, original recordings, and personal effects. The house itself retains its original layout, and the guided tours (approximately one hour) explain the band's history through both the objects and the rooms they lived in. Guided tours run Tuesday through Sunday; the last tour begins at 3pm.
