About The Big House Museum

The Big House Museum honors the Allman Brothers Band, whose members formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1969 and helped establish Southern rock. The museum sits in the Vineville Avenue house that band members, their crew, friends and families rented from January 1970 until 1973, when the group was taking shape. Visitors can tour the building, view rotating exhibits and browse a gift shop. The museum also hosts events, rentals and fundraising golf tournaments.
