FAMILY TOUR

Experience 18th century Odessa as it really was for families living in this rural village and port. Catch a glimpse of the Appoquinimink River from a vantage point on Main Street with a spyglass. Find you way from the Corbit-Sharp House to the Brick Hotel using a compass. Tell time using an old pocket watch. Work on your penmanship skills by completing an 18th century lesson using a slate and slate pencil. Try to start a fire with flint and steel. Shop in an 18th and early 19th century mercantile—the Wilson Store. Try your hand at some colonial toys and games. Put on your colonial working caps, open your haversacks, step back into the 18th century and begin your tour.
