Kurt Cobain’s childhood home turned into museum: private tours start in early 2022

Kurt Cobain’s childhood home has been declared a Washington state landmark. The current homeowner is planning to turn the home into a museum with private tours available starting in early 2022.

The home’s owner, Lee Bacon, has told Rolling Stone that he plans to recreate the house and return it to its vintage era are “90 to 95 percent” complete. Neighborhood zoning regulations will prevent Cobain’s old home from becoming a full-time museum but Bacon hopes he will be able to open the house for occasional private tours. He had the following to say to Rolling Stone about his plans for the house:

“Our goal is to make the house a tribute project to Kurt’s early life and career, with museum detail. The next chapter is how to make that happen.”

Cobain lived in the Aberdeen home from 1968 to 1984 before Nirvana formed and became the most important rock act of the ‘90s. The one-and-a-half story house was officially approved for the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation’s ‘Heritage Register,’ which preserves culturally important buildings.
