The story of the ‘Morning Star Logo’

In 1855, Tillamook pioneers launched their own ship, Morning Star of Tillamook. It was used to help establish a market in Portland and Astoria for goods from Tillamook County, Including butter. In 1966, TCCA redesigned its packaging to incorporate a rendition of the Morning Star. This made it easier for customers to identify genuine Tillamook cheese. Today, the Morning Star logo is tll on the package and a replica stands in the front of the plant.
