Welcome to the Voelker Orth Museum in historic Flushing, Queens.
The Voelker Orth Museum, Bird Sanctuary and Victorian Garden is a welcoming place to relax, learn, and recharge. The 1890s house was home to a German immigrant family. The setting invites reflection on life in Flushing, Queens, now and then. Visit us year-round for tours, exhibitions, workshops and events.
Visit Sunday and Wednesday afternoons, 1-4pm. NOTE: Museum is open for tours on Sunday and Wednesday afternoons, 1-4.
The garden is open Monday -Friday, 10-4 and Sunday afternoons.
News: Oktoberfest is cancelled if the Mayor declares a State of Emergency. If he retains the weather advisory status, we will determine whether to cancel the event by noon tomorrow. Anyone who pre-purchased tickets can be reimbursed whether or not we hold a scaled-down indoor version of Oktoberfest Saturday evening.
You can check our website again or call us at 718-359-6227 for an updated status report. Thank you for your interest and patronage. Be safe in the storm. We hope to see you at the Museum, soon.
