The Oregon State Insane Asylum was opened in Salem on October 23,
1883, and is one of the oldest continuously operated mental
hospitals on the West Coast. In 1913, the name was changed to the
Oregon State Hospital (OSH). The history of OSH parallels the
development and growth in psychiatric knowledge throughout the
United States. Oregon was active in the field of electroshock
treatments, lobotomies, and eugenics. At one point, in 1959, there
were more than 3,600 patients living on the campus. The
Oscar-winning movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was filmed
inside the hospital in 1972. In 2008, the entire campus was added
to the National Register of Historic Places, and the state began a
$360-million restoration project to bring the hospital to modern
standards. The story of OSH is one of intrigue, scandal, recovery,
and hope.
