Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) was the inventor of the telephone and
was also known for his education of the deaf. Bell first visited Cape
Breton in 1885 and set up a vacation home the
following year. He spent a good part of each year there with his wife
Mabel Hubbard Bell away from the formality and summer heat of Washington
DC.

We visited the AG Bell museum and historic site. We discovered that he was not only known for the telephone and as a teacher of the deaf, but he was a prolific inventor in aeronautics, marine engineering, medicine, etc. we saw his hydrofoil craft at the musuefulm. |

Alexander Graham Bell and Mabel sculpture in Baddeck, Nova Scotia |
Sculpture of Allen with Alexander Graham Bell & his wife, Mabel. (Seems like Medusa's head turned Allen into stone to better socialize with the Bells.) |
