Tucked away in the Boston Gardens is a monument to the discovery of anesthesia. Simple but grand, if you have some time walking through the park it is worth the short visit.

This monument is the oldest in the Boston Public Garden. It commemorates when Ether was used in Anesthesia. You do know Boston is known for its medical achievements. Do visit this statue when in Boston.

Right next to the Boston Commons is the Boston Public Garden and that’s where you can find the Ether monument. It’s worth the short trip to check it out before staring the freedom trail.

Thank you so much for educating our students. This was an amazing experience. We learned so much. Well worth it.

I read about the Ether Monument and thought we had better check it out. I didn't know the connection with Boston, nor did I know much of the history of the use of ether. It only took a few minutes to see the monument, but I'm glad we did.
