Home to The Allman Brothers Band’s original members,
their families, and various friends from 1970 to 1973, The
Big House allows the unique opportunity to experience the
surroundings of the rock and roll tenants of the 18-room
home. Berry Oakley, his wife Linda, their daughter, Berry
Oakley’s sister Candy Oakley, Duane Allman, his wife Donna,
their daughter, and Gregg Allman all called The Big House home.
In fact, Dickey Betts wrote “Blue Sky” in the living room and
“Ramblin’ Man” in the kitchen.
Renovated by The Big House Foundation in 2009, the interactive museum preserves the
history of The Allman Brothers Band. It contains the world’s largest collection of Band
memorabilia, and the gift shop has a collection of items sure to please any fan!
The Big House celebrates Macon’s own rich musical heritage by sharing the joy of music
with our youth—the Museum is a popular field trip destination for schools, camps,
scouts, and homeschool groups. It’s also a unique event venue. Rent the Big House for
weddings, corporate events, and private parties, or enjoy live musical performances
throughout the year.
