We visited the museum for Alexander Graham Bell.  He invented the telephone.  He also taught deaf people how to sign letters of the alphabet so they could "talk".

Adults:

 Spent the day in Baddeck.  On the top of the list was the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. Turns out that the Bell’s had a home here on the Bras d’Or Lake and spent a great deal of time here. They owned an island in fact, and still today, the property can only be built on by the descendants of Mr. Bell. The museum was very interesting as it covered all of the things that Mr. Bell had done in his life. Mostly, I just remembered him as the inventor of the telephone, but in fact, he is responsible for many inventions, or improvements on previous inventions. Mrs. Bell was deaf, and they met when he was working with a school for the deaf and teaching the signs for the letters of the alphabet. He continued to work on ways to make the world an easier place to the deaf the rest of his life, along with his other accomplishments.
