The Van Zant House (Lynyrd Skynyrd)

This historic home is the childhood home of the Van Zant family, including Lynyrd Skynyrd founder Ronnie Van Zant. The epic rise to fame of the original version of Lynyrd Skynyrd was tragically cut short by a plane crash in 1977 that took Ronnie's life, and that of several other members of the band. But their music will live forever, and hopefully this house will stand as well as a living tribute to the Van Zants. Inside this main house, you'll find some cool memorabilia, a vintage 1938 Brunswick pool table, and a retro 70's feel, to remind us all of the way things were, with a hint of nostalgia. Profits will go to cover expenses and continuing to improve the property. Your visit will help ensure this house forever remains a part of Rock n Roll history! Please understand that we have restored and continue to restore this home to what it looked like in the 1970's (with a few minor nods to technology, like wifi). If you have an expectation of a perfect modern home, this is probably not a good fit for you. Fans of Lynyrd Skynyrd tell us they get goose bumps visiting this home. If you're not a fan of the band, or are coming for some other reason, please do not come and then complain or leave poor reviews because it wasn't up to date perfect or totally modern.
