Dr. John McLoughlin, Bronze statue at Oregon State Capitol grounds in Salem, United States.

Dr. John McLoughlin is depicted as a bronze statue at the Oregon State Capitol grounds in Salem, shown in formal attire with a cape. He holds a top hat in his left hand while extending his right fist forward.

The Oregon bronze was modelled by Alexander Phimister Proctor, who finished the model before his death in 1950; his son and associate Gifford MacGregor Proctor completed the sculpture. Cast between 1950 and 1953, it was dedicated in 1953 and financed mainly by legislative appropriation plus contributions from Oregon schoolchildren. The Smithsonian calls it a duplicate of the bronze unveiled in the U.S. Capitol in 1952 for the National Statuary Hall Collection.

The statue honors McLoughlin's role in assisting early settlers by providing seeds, grains, and supplies through Fort Vancouver. This support became central to how people remembered him in the growing region.

The memorial sits on public Capitol grounds that are easy to reach on foot at any time. The area around it is accessible and offers a clear view of the monument from nearby paths.

The Salem bronze is a cast of the statue unveiled in the U.S. Capitol in 1952, made between 1950 and 1953.
