Oregon State Hospital (‘Cuckoo’s Nest’)

Just outside downtown Salem, Oregon, lies the historic Oregon State Hospital, the prime filming location for the 1975 cinematic masterpiece One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Though most of the portions of the psychiatric hospital featured in the movie have been demolished, the core of the 1883 building remains. Below you will find photos, taken in 2025, of that building, which now houses a museum. For more information on the hospital, visit Wikipedia.
