This year marks the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Louis Armstrong House Museum, a National Historic Landmark that housed the archive that was lovingly curated by Lucille Wilson Armstrong.
With over 60,000 items, the Louis Armstrong Archive is the largest for one jazz musician. On July 6, the Louis Armstrong Center opened across from the house in Corona, Queens where Pops lived from 1943 until his death on July 6, 1971.
