Finally…the
wait is over…after two and a half years of
renovation and restoration, the house is
finished, the exhibits are up, the property has
been landscaped, the staff is ready and the
Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House at
2321 Vineville Avenue, Macon, Georgia will open
the doors to fans and friends for the first time
the weekend of December 5 and 6, 2009.
Starting at 9
am Saturday December 5 and 11 am Sunday December
6 we will greet fans and welcome them into the
museum that they supported and created. Yes,
that’s right. You did it, all of you wonderful
Brothers and Sisters whose lives have been
touched by the music of this American
institution that is the Allman Brothers Band.
The Big House
Foundation has raised $2.5 million over the past
5 years from fans like you from around the globe
who are dedicated to the Allman Brothers Band
and their music. The Allman Brothers Band
Museum at the Big House is a fitting a tribute
and gift from the fans to the band who is
celebrating their 40th anniversary in music this
year.
We are proud
of the work that has gone into this project and
proud that we can add this wonderful attraction
to those other historic house museums in Macon.
We think you will agree that The Allman Brothers
Band Museum at the Big House will take a very
prominent place in the music history of not only
Macon and America but of the world and will help
brand Macon as a music Mecca, a destination for
music fans the world over.
Here’s where
you’ll find, all the posters, photos and
memorabilia, both rare and familiar and a vast
archive of audio recordings and film footage.
All of it will be right here at the Big House
Museum, and just like the music and the band it
birthed, all of it is meant to be experienced.
Not just read about. Not even just listened to.
Experienced.
On April 23,
