Historic Odessa Foundation is a small, nonprofit organization operating in the events services space that preserves and interprets a historic 18th- and 19th-century village in Odessa, Delaware. It maintains five buildings, extensive grounds, outbuildings, and gardens, housing a collection of household furnishings, fine and decorative arts, and works by regional artisans, with an emphasis on Delaware history and mid-Atlantic craftsmanship. The foundation offers year-round tours and programs for individuals and families, including lectures, workshops, hearth-cooking demonstrations, and seasonal events such as an Easter Egg Hunt, Odessa Brewfest, and a December Holiday Tour. Based in Odessa, it provides visitors with insights into colonial-era life through guided experiences while also expanding access to its collections through publications and related activities. A recent development includes the release of a book titled A Storied Past - Collections of Historic Odessa, reflecting ongoing efforts to document and share its historical holdings.
