Historical Note

The Tualatin Plains Historical Society was a group that met in Forest Grove, Oregon. In the 1960s, it held meetings in Pacific University's Old College Hall, and continued its active membership on into the 1980s. Many of the members of this group were also affiliates of Pacific University.
