The event will take place in the Community Room at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 16. Hutchens (portraying Mrs. Pittock) and Mike Hutchens (portraying her chauffeur), will tell the ac- count of Georgiana and Hen- ry Pittock as they came west on the Oregon Trail, and their settlement in Portland. The Pittock family played a major role in the history of Portland and the growth of Oregon’s largest city. They will also tell the story of the Pittocks’ last 10 years between 1908-1918, with the building of the Pit- tock Mansion, the evolution of women’s voting rights in Oregon, World War I, and dealing with the effects of a stroke. The Pittock family visited Seaside on many occasions, and the presentation will touch on their experiences on the Oregon Coast too. Historical actress Hutch- ens has been portraying Georgiana Pittock since 2007 and has told her story to school children, residents of elder living facilities, museums, libraries and philanthropic organizations. She will be in full period costume for the presenta- tion. The Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway. For more infor- mation call 503-738-6742, or visit www.seasidelibrary. org
