Alexander Graham Bell

 The town of Baddeck, Nova Scotia may not ring a bell with you, but it was home to one of the greatest inventors of all time. It was here he invented the telephone, and changed the world of communication as it was then known. 

But the telephone was only one small part of his lifelong pursuits. He worked tirelessly on helping the deaf. He was involved in the first Canadian airplane flight. He helped invent hydrofoils, and even left a prototype on the beach to rot away, before what was left of it was brought to this museum. 

The museum contained hundreds of his experiments, tools, gadgets, and even objects unknown to anyone but him. I took some pictures, but they don't touch what was there.  If ever in northern Nova Scotia, don't miss the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. A Canadian National Park site.

He wa quite a man....jc
