“The Big House” – the Macon, GA destination where Allman fans have flocked for decades to soak up a little southern rock mojo – will become a museum with the help of dedicated fans who have spent years collecting their memorabilia.
The three-story Tudor house where the band got its start and wrote songs like "Ramblin' Man", "Blue Sky", and "Midnight Rider" has is being renovated and will feature more than 300,000 pieces of Allman-related memorabilia collected by Kirk West, the band's longtime photographer and tour manager. Items will include Duane Allman's jacket, which was draped over a guitar case next to his coffin at his funeral, one of Gregg Allman’s Hammond Organs, original posters, photographs, and rare live recordings.
The museum is scheduled to open in December.
