We went for a friend’s birthday and it was a really cool idea to celebrate with history, art, and music. Louis’s old house not only tells you about his life and journey but New York and the world at the time. The tour was excellent and the artifacts were well preserved (including some of Louis’s handmade collages). Additionally the staff is incredibly sweet. It was raining and I was a whole 30 minutes late to the 1 hour tour and my group had to go ahead. But not only did the staff escort me in the rain to join the group the tour guide spent additional time walking me through the parts I missed at the end. I did not expect this kindness and generosity of their time especially towards the end of a stormy day. I will definitely have to make it back for a jazz show next time!

This was a wonderful experience. We went on a class trip. The tour is very intimate to allow efficiency. The host was knowledgeable and able to answer questions that were not included in the presentation since the tour was concise due to the age of the children. The home and the museum are preserved nicely, and I appreciated the updates to the home so that we could hear certain things in each room, accompanied by photos.

I am happy I made it to @louisarmstronghouse to see this wonderful @nduduzomakhathini Trio for the first time! It was so amazing! I toured the lovely Armstrong home, and it was sentimental. The tour guide was a wonderful storyteller. After being up nearly 24 hrs between my third shift job and flying in, it was worth every kilometer traveled in zombie mode. LOL, I wish you and your band much continued success. ???❤️?

Outstanding opportunity to tour in a small group and see where Louis Armstrong and his last wife, Lucille, lived until they passed. Great tour guide knowledgeable about the collection and Louis and Lucille's biographies; the chance to listen to tapes of Louis talking that he made at home on his reel-to-reel. And now across the street, a newly opened (two months ago, as of September 2023) museum with artifacts and digitized archives that contribute so much to the experience. I'll be returning there for sure, and it seems as though they are continuing to renovate the house (basement now) and add to what's viewable from the archives. An American treausre.
