The Van Zant House

The Van Zant House is an historical property that the childhood home of Ronnie, Donnie, and Johnny Van Zant of the rock bands Lynyrd Skynyrd and .38 Special...the Birthplace of Southern Rock.

Musicians Ronnie, Donnie, and Johnny Van Zant spent their formative years growing up in this house between the 1950’s and the 1980’s.  While living here, a serendipitous foul ball off of the baseball bat of Ronnie Van Zant at a nearby park, struck a young Bob Burns on the head, knocking him unconscious.  This chance encounter led to what would soon become one of the most famous, hardest working, rock ‘n roll bands in the world, Lynyrd Skynyrd.  Gold and Platinum albums from millions of record sales adorned the walls of this home for many years as the band toured prodigiously all over the world.  Tragedy cut short the initial incarnation of Lynyrd Skynyrd, as four members of the band, including lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, perished in a plane crash in Mississippi on October 20th, 1977 after their touring plane ran out of fuel.  All other members of the band and crew were seriously injured.  Ten years later, Johnny Van Zant took over lead signing duties, as the Lynyrd Skynyrd was reborn with many of the original and contributing members.  Donnie Van Zant was a founding member and lead singer of the rock band 38 Special, a highly successful band in its own right.
