Review:
The Ella Sharp Museum is a historical museum located in Ella Sharp Park in Jackson, Michigan . The original structure that hosts the museum is a nineteenth-century farmhouse that was at some point expanded by adding a Greek Revival front section. By the 1860s, the farm was one of the most prosperous in the area. In 1862, the new owners added an Italianate tower and another small addition. The last owner Ella Sharp bequeathed the house and farm to the city of Jackson, under the condition that it is to be used as a museum and park. The house opened to the public as a museum in 1965. The Ella Sharp Museum contains several other buildings located in a surrounding historical complex, including the 1875 Dibble School, an?1840 log cabin and a country store.
