This grand monument sits along the eastern rim of Scott Circle. Who's the man in the seat of honor? Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, recognized as the founder of homeopathic medicine. This monument was commissioned by the American Institute of Homeopathy. President William McKinley attended the dedication in 1900.
