The Voelker Orth Museum, Bird Sanctuary and Victorian Garden offers programs in the arts, horticulture, and local history, often in a multidisciplinary manner. A New York City Landmark and listed on the National Register, the Museum occupies the former home of 19th-century German immigrant family involved in newspaper publishing. Restored to their 1900-1930s appearance, the Museum’s period rooms double as exhibition and event space. Programs and period rooms offer a glimpse into the domestic space and lifestyle of a middle-class family. Tours will be offered every fifteen minutes on a first-come, first-served basis.
