I learned about the work Mr Bell did to teach deaf people to talk and his success with that program. We also got to see the story of his telegraph, and telephone inventions, as well as the work he did with others on flight and hydrofoils.
The story began with a 5-week journey in a 1997 RV, from Richmond, Va to Utah and back, July 23 through August 27, 2011. The next step included the sale of that RV and the purchase of a larger, classier RV we call Princess. Now we have changed RVs again. We sold the Princess to a family of 5, and purchased a 2017 Class C, smaller than the Princess but some better features as well as some limitations storage wise. And so our adventures continue.

Baddeck, Nova Scotia
Baddeck is a small town on the shore of Bras D'or Lake. The lake itself sits in the middle of Cape Breton and is quite expansive. There are lots of little shops, restaurants, B&Bs, and Inns in this small town.
There is also an Alexander Graham Bell Museum here which is part of the National Park system, so our park pass got us free entry to the museum.
He and his wife established a summer home outside Baddeck on the shores of the lake but the house is not open to visitors. It remains privately owned.
