The Oregon School for the Blind was an educational institution in Salem, Oregon, dedicated to serving visually impaired and blind students. Established in 1873, it provided specialized education and resources for students from across the state. The school offered a range of programs, focusing on academics as well as practical skills to promote independence. Over the years, the institution became a key component of the wider community of support for visually impaired individuals in Oregon. However, in 2009, the school was closed, with students being integrated into local school districts or other specialized programs to ensure they continued receiving appropriate educational services. The decision was part of a broader move to promote inclusion and provide support within regular community schools. Today, the site has been repurposed and no longer functions as a school for the blind.
