The Louis Armstrong House Museum is located in a 1910 house in Corona. In 1943, the house was purchased by Newlyweds Louis and Lucille Armstrong, who lived their for the rest of their lives. The house opened as a museum in 2003 (and is now celebrating its tenth anniversary). The house’s interiors and furnishings provide a great opportunity to learn about the Armstrongs and see how they lived. In addition, the museum possesses, and plays on its tours, a collection of recording Armstrong made of himself.
