Odessa

Location

Odessa is a town in New Castle County. The population was 286 at the 2000 census. Originally founded as Cantwell's Bridge in the 18th century, the name was changed in the 19th century, after the Ukrainian port city of the same name.

Odessa played a vital role in commercial life along the Delaware River as a busy grain shipping port. Today, you can stroll along tree-lined streets and admire examples of 18th and 19th century architecture. Chief among these are the five properties that make up the Historic Houses of Odessa. A significant part of the town is a National Historic District.

Cache Details

The cache is located at the historic Collins-Sharp House, which dates back to 1700 and is one of Delaware's oldest houses. This picturesque log and frame building is the site's center for educational programming. The house is part of the historic village of Odessa and the cache was placed with the permission of the Historic Odessa Foundation. Historic Odessa Village is open for tours (fee) March-December, Thursday to Sunday. Cache is accessible from dawn to dusk only.

ATTENTION CACHERS- This cache was placed with permission. Please NO NIGHT CACHING on this hide. Please do not violate the property owner's wishes!!
