🏡 LET'S GO INSIDE THE HISTORIC HOME OF LOUIS ARMSTRONG An Exclusive Group Visit to One of New York City's Most Remarkable Historic Homes 🗓 Saturday\, August 15\, 2026 | 12:30 PM – Approximately 2:00 PM 📍 Louis Armstrong House Museum & Louis Armstrong Center 34-49 / 34-56 107th Street Corona, Queens, NY 👥 Maximum Attendance: 25 Members 💵 Special Social Club Price: $12 Per Member 🎟 Private Group Tour Led by Museum Docents ✨ One of New York City's Best-Kept Secrets Hidden away on a quiet residential street in Corona, Queens sits one of New York City's most extraordinary historic homes. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary neighborhood house. Inside... Time has almost completely stood still. Unlike many historic homes that have been recreated or restored decades later, the Louis Armstrong House remains astonishingly authentic. Walking through the front door feels less like entering a museum and more like being welcomed into someone's home. Because it was. Louis and Lucille Armstrong lived here together for nearly thirty years. 🎺 More Than a Music Museum... Even if you know very little about jazz, this visit is about something much bigger. It is about stepping inside the everyday world of one of America's most beloved cultural icons. You'll walk through the actual living room where Louis relaxed after concert tours around the world. You'll see the kitchen where he and Lucille shared meals. You'll visit the den where he listened to recordings, welcomed friends, answered fan mail, and enjoyed the quiet life he cherished away from the spotlight. Every room tells a story. Every object has meaning. Few museums offer such an intimate glimpse into the private life of a world-famous figure. 🎼 Why Louis Armstrong Matters Louis Armstrong wasn't simply one of the greatest jazz musicians in history. He helped shape American music itself. His unmistakable trumpet playing, unforgettable voice, warmth, humor, and generosity made him one of the most admired entertainers of the twentieth century. His influence can still be heard today across jazz, pop, rock, blues, and virtually every form of modern music. Yet despite worldwide fame, he never left the neighborhood he loved. That humility is reflected throughout this remarkable home. 🏛 Our Visit Includes... 🎺 A docent-led guided tour through Louis Armstrong's beautifully preserved historic home. 🎺 Admission to the award-winning Louis Armstrong Center. 🎺 Time to explore the museum's fascinating exhibits at your own pace. 🎺 Rare photographs, recordings, personal belongings, instruments, awards, and memorabilia. 🎺 Beautiful gardens and outdoor spaces. 📸 Important Information ✔️ Please arrive between 12:00 PM and 12:30 PM. ✔️ The guided house tour begins promptly at 12:30 PM. ✔️ The docent-led house tour lasts approximately 45 minutes. ✔️ The museum exhibits are self-guided. ✔️ Total visit time is approximately 1½ hours. ✔️ Photography is welcome throughout the Louis Armstrong Center, the gardens, and outside the historic home. ❌ Photography is not permitted inside the historic house. 🌟 Why Our Group Is Visiting One of the goals of our Social Club has always been to introduce members to remarkable places that many lifelong New Yorkers have never experienced. The Louis Armstrong House Museum is exactly that kind of hidden treasure. It combines history... Architecture... Music... Culture... Preservation... And one of the most authentic historic homes in New York City. Whether you're a lifelong Louis Armstrong fan or simply enjoy discovering extraordinary places that most people never see, I believe you'll leave with a much deeper appreciation for both the man and the city he loved. 🎟 Attendance Is Limited Because of the intimate size of the historic home, attendance is limited to just 25 members. This is a rare opportunity to experience one of New York City's most fascinating cultural landmarks in a relaxed, docent-led group setting. I hope you'll join us for what promises to be another memorable day of history, culture, and discovery.
