We aren’t huge fans but do enjoy Allman Brothers music. This museum provides an in-depth look at their lives and music. An interesting insight into an iconic band. The museum provides a map for a dri… Full review by BarbaraN395

Use the free one-page guide offered at the admission counter. Most exhibits are not labelled, and the guide explains the exhibits. We spent over a half hour in this museum but well under an hour. … Full review by 179cynthiaf

We have been on a 2 week road trip down the Blue Ridge parkway and are stopping in Macon tomorrow (Thurs. Sept 3rd) for one night to do the Big House and the Rose cemetery. Wondering what we can do with our 13 year old small dog? Do you think I could carry her through the museum in a backpack because I can’t leave her in the car...

When we were there a couple of weeks ago it was very laid back. There was one staff member who was very nice. I am sure you won't have a problem. Especially if it's a small older dog and you carry her. You can also call them ahead of time. Have fun, you'll love it! Also nice grounds outside.

Hi, Michael. What would you like to know about this attraction? We are driving from Chicago to Orlando and want to stop in Macon overnight purposely to see the museum. If we arrive in Macon at 2-3PM would that allow us enough time to thoroughly see the museum before it closes. We are huge Allman fans and would be a shame to pass so close without stopping. Thanks!

Depends on what you consider “getting your moneys worth”. The museum/house is not large but they have a lot of interesting artifacts and memorabilia in display glasses throughout. I’m the type of person who likes to take my time and read and view everything when I tour a museum. If you’re like me give yourself 2 to 2.5 hours. Otherwise, if not concerned with all the details hour, hour and half. Talk with the staff if you have the opportunity. Great people who have interesting stories about the band. A lot of pride went into the museum and it shows.

To be honest, there are none nearby. There are some old hotels that looked quite nice in the historic district. I stayed in Travel Lodge chain motel that is near the museum. But it wasn't very nice. It WAS cheap. And it's too long and sketchy to walk from there to the historic section of town. But parking was easy in the downtown.
