Silver Dart (1909) airplane (oblique view), Alexander Graham Bell Museum, Baddeck, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, July 2022
The Bell Homestead National Historic Site, located in Brantford, Ontario, features the first North American home of Professor Alexander Melville Bell and his family, and is the site where his son, scientist Alexander Graham Bell, invented the telephone in the July 1874. The 10-acre site features the Melville House, which has been restored to appear as in the 1870s.
The site also later added the Henderson Home, Canada's first telephone company office opened in 1877 and a predecessor of Bell Canada, which was moved to the museum from its original location in downtown Brantford.
The museum is operated by Bell Homestead Committee and is owned by the Parks & Recreation Department of the City of Brantford. It has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada (1910).
This was a good day for visiting museums and going to
a Celtic Colours concert, as this was a rainy day. The stop in the charming town of Baddeck was fascinating for us and historically important to us, because we didn't know a lot about Alexander Graham Bell's contributions, his interesting life, and his connection to Canada. We ended the day in Sydney on a perfect note by attending a performance, one of the Celtic Colours shows, tickets we were lucky enough to secure the night before - we got the last two seats! We were treated to performances by local and international artists.

A ship sails across Baddeck Bay Wednesday morning with a tour group. Beinn Bhreagh, where Alexander Graham Bell spent much of his time, is in the background.
