Incredible place of respite from a hot summer day. A century of German immigrant life condensed in a home where strangers become friends with partaking of a tour, fruit punch, and colors for the eyes in the Victorian garden. If you are in Queens, please make sure to plan for an outing to the Voelker Orth Museum. There is also art exhibit inside the house. As you wander, see yourself in another time and space and marvel at what others in a hundred years will think of you. What would you want them to know? What objects would your museum have?
