Capture the moment at Historic Odessa
With the changing of the seasons, with the brightly colored trees of Autumn turning to the freshly powdered ground of Winter, the Historic Odessa Foundation encourages our visiting member photographers to utilize our gardens and grounds for photo sessions.
The grounds of the Historic Odessa Foundation encompass approximately 30 acres of property in the historic center of town. The Corbit-Sharp House Colonial Revival garden was designed by H. Rodney Sharp with the assistance of well-known landscape architect, Marian Cruger Coffin. On the grounds you can find rustic landscaping, wooden fences and 1812 Fieldstone Stable.
Properties managed by the organization also include:
- 1700 Collins-Sharp House
- 1769 Wilson-Warner House
