SPECIAL LOAN EXHIBIT
Historic Odessa: A Past Preserved
Discover highlights of the rich history awaiting visitors to this charming Delaware River community that flourished as a marketing hub from the mid-18th through early 19th centuries. William Corbit and David Wilson, patriarchs of two of the town’s most prosperous families, built magnificent houses and filled them with the outward trappings of their success. Successive generations took particular interest in the preservation of the family history and that of the town itself. The legacy of their endeavors, along with the considerable efforts of 20th-century preservationist H. Rodney Sharp, can be seen in the six remarkable properties now owned and administered by the Historic Odessa Foundation. Included with admission.
