DIRECTIONS: The Ether Dome, a National Historic Site, is where Thomas W. G. Morton administered ether while Dr. John Collins Warren cut a tumor out of the neck of patient Gilbert Abbott on October 16, 1846. Taking the "T" is HIGHLY recommended. Get off the Red Line at the Charles Street/MGH Station and enter the main entrance of the hospital. Once inside, ask the front desk people for directions. MGH has plenty of parking, should you opt to drive in. The MGH site - http://www.massgeneral.org/map/directions.html - has more detailed instructions on a number of transportation alternatives.
