Mapping America 1641-1900: The H. Rodney Sharp Map Collection
Starting on Saturday, October 21, the Historic Odessa Foundation will have several 18th century maps on display in the Corbit-Sharp house. Learn about the world as it was seen 200 years ago! The exhibit will run through the end of December.
H. Rodney Sharp collected and restored maps and displayed them in his home, “Gibraltar”, in Wilmington. His particular interest focused on North America and the mid-Atlantic region. Additional maps have remained in the Sharp descendant families and are on loan for this exhibit. Reproductions of some of these maps also may be seen in Cantwell’s Tavern.
