Oregon Korean War Memorial

Oregon Korean War Memorial, War memorial in Wilsonville, United States.

The Oregon Korean War Memorial occupies a 5.5-acre park in Wilsonville, centred on a 109-foot wall of Carnelian granite bearing the names of 298 Oregonians killed or missing in the war. A 500-foot concrete path lined with two rows of cherry trees curves past the wall, which faces a 12-foot-wide brick terrace set with donors' names. Five flagpoles and bronze plaques mark key dates of the 1950-1953 conflict.

Fundraising began in 1996, 43 years after the armistice, and Wilsonville approved the design on October 14, 1996, as part of Town Center Park. Groundbreaking followed on May 8, 1998, and the memorial was dedicated on September 30, 2000. Donations included $100,000 from Hyundai Semiconductor America, $50,000 from South Korea and nearly $70,000 from Korean-Americans.

The memorial's design began as a smaller version of Seoul's East Gate, and its brick terrace is set with the names of individual donors. Five flags fly from 30-foot poles: the United States, South Korea, Oregon, the United Nations and POW/MIA. Former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung visited in April 2008.

The memorial sits in a 5.5-acre city park in Wilsonville, reached by a 500-foot concrete path lined with two rows of cherry trees. A 12-foot-wide brick terrace runs the length of the granite wall, its bricks set with the names of donors. Flags fly from 30-foot poles, and a 5,000-square-foot visitors' center stands in the park.

A bronze statue of a key military leader stands at the site, honoring his role in commanding international forces during the conflict. This figure draws visitors' attention and underscores the global nature of the war.
