Macon natives the Allman Brothers have made an indelible mark in popular music history. Their melding of rock, country, blues and gold ol' Southern attitude made them pioneers in the genre of Southern rock. The Big House in Macon is where the band spent its formative years that date all the way back to early 1970. The group's roadies, families and other associates all lived here as the Allmans perfected their musical identity. The spot is now known as the Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House, a place that fans will undoubtedly want to visit when in town.
