Opened in 1933, the facility was the third and largest hospital constructed to serve veterans in Roseburg, but the only campus constructed by the VA. Led by the American Legion and Chamber of Commerce, residents successfully lobbied the US Government to locate a hospital just north of the 1912 Oregon State Old Soldier’s Home. Designed as a general medical hospital and later redesigned as a neuropsychiatric facility, the residential campus offered quality care to thousands of Oregon and northern California veterans of both World Wars. Treatment focused on occupational therapy, including agricultural activities such as raising animals and vegetables for use by the hospital kitchen. One of three hospitals of this type in the nation, the twenty-four historic buildings and structures are constructed in the Classical Revival Style, meant to convey the dignity of national service, and are arranged around a central flag pole and parade ground.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

Yet, people depended upon the beaches to travel the rugged headlands. Governor Oswald West, a staunch defender of public land ownership, drafted a bill to address the issue and put it forth during the 27th session of the Oregon legislative assembly. February 13 marked 100 years since the legislature enacted Senate Bill 22 – sometimes called the Open Beaches Act – creating a unique part of Oregon’s heritage. In recognition of his commitment to preserving Oregon’s shore for public use, Short Sand Beach became Oswald West State Park in 1958.
