Alexander Graham Bell museum, Baddeck, Nova Scotia
Our first stop on Cape Breton was at Baddeck, a little town situated along the shores of Bras d'Or Lake, a huge body of water in the centre of the island. We came here to learn about Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor, and to visit the museum that bears his name, seen in this photograph. Bell took a liking to this area after coming here for a summer vacation with his family in 1885. Soon after, he began building a house that later expanded into a complex of buildings including a laboratory in which many of his inventions were created. He lived in Baddeck with his wife Mabel for more than 30 years until his death – he died here – in 1922 at the age of 75.
