Montana Pioneer, Sarah Elizabeth Woody moved west and found herself at the forefront of the birth of a community and the state of Montana. As a wide eyed young woman, she couldn’t know what life had in store for her. Join Mrs. Woody as she sifts through her old travel trunk. Each item sparks a poignant memory of a life well lived. Mrs. Woody ruminates on the wagon train journey from Iowa to California, her time as a frontier school teacher, and her marriage to Frank H. Woody, Missoula’s first mayor, in a small cabin in the burgeoning village Missoula. There are tales of joy, sorrow, pain and pleasure. Mrs. Woody shares life lessons with wit and wisdom

Partial funding for the Speakers Bureau program is provided by a legislative grant from Montana’s Cultural Trust and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
