Louis Armstrong House Museum

MuseumLocals' pick

Satchmo and Lucille lived in this modest brick house from 1943 until his death in 1971, and it is left as they had it: Lucille's opulent wallpapers, the robin's-egg-blue kitchen cabinets, the den where he practiced. On the tour you hear Armstrong's own voice from tapes he recorded at home, telling stories about Corona and his friends.
