Tabitha Moffat Brown joined a wagon train with her family from Missouri to Oregon in 1846 at the age of 66. The arduous journey left them near starvation. Despite losing almost everything, they arrived in Oregon. Yet, Tabitha’s greatest accomplishments were still ahead of her. Join us for the story of how Grandma Brown founded Tualatin Academy (now Pacific University), and why she is known as the “Mother of Oregon.”
