The Voelker Orth Museum, Bird Sanctuary and Victorian Garden occupies a home that was purchased by a German immigrant named Conrad Voelcker who emigrated from Germany in 1881. After his death in 1930, the house became the home of his daughter, Theresa Voelker and her husband, Dr. Rudolph Orth. Their daughter, Elisabetha Orth, who lived in the house most of her life, in her will established the organization which now runs the museum. The immediate goal of the organization was the restoration of the Voelker Orth homestead.More than a century old, this house has been the home of a single family for nearly its entire history and has changed little since the days of Conrad Voelcker.

"Mr. Baxter has lived for decades in a nice house on Beach 127th
Street, but he says he is ashamed of his neighborhood’s support for the
parking restrictions, on most of the residential blocks between Beach
116th Street and Riis Park, from May 15 through Sept. 30. He says they
are meant to deter the rest of the city from using the local stretch of
the public beach.

Queens Public Television (QPTV) is happy to announce the launch of its Community Blog. Unlike QPTV's long established website, the community blog is a place where producers can interact with one another in a moderated forum.
 
We hope that you will use this forum to communicate with other QPTV Certified Producers, share your thoughts about community media, seek out crew for your next production or offer to crew for someone else. Perhaps you have photos from your last production, send them to us and we'll be happy to post them.
 
We do ask that you observe the same sense of decorum on the site as you would observe at our facility; rudeness, disrespect or inappropriate language will not be tolerated.
 
If you have any questions please contact me.
