VISIT
Take a trip to the early 1970s when you explore the Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House, a two-story tribute to the Allman Brothers Band. This historic Tudor home that housed the Allman Brothers and their families has been renovated into a jam-packed, interactive museum complete with a re-creation of Duane Allman’s bedroom and room after room that showcases the instruments and memorabilia from the original band and beyond.
LISTEN
The former Capricorn Sound Studios has been fully restored as Mercer Music at Capricorn, offering two recording studios, a music incubator for aspiring young musicians and an interpretive area that tells the story of Capricorn and Macon’s music heritage through historic artifacts, static exhibits and interactive digital kiosks.
SEE
Legend has it that Macon’s illustrious music history dates back to ancient times. With 17,000 years of continuous human habitation as proven at Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park — a prehistoric American Indian site — the sacred burial mounds indeed hold this history. Visit the newly designated National Historic Park for an archeological study of where Macon’s sacred music connection comes from.
