Before leaving Baddeck --- we visited the Alexander Graham Bell Museum --- a surprising visit. He was quite the inventor --- he began much of his work studying with the deaf and teaching them sign language. From this he invented the telephone as a natural progression from speech therapy.
He and his associates also worked with kites to understand flight, building the 1st Canadian airplane.
He also designed and built a submarine chaser – that went 70 mph – as a hydroplane boat for WWI
An early X-Ray machine early recording device 
He was very fond of his wife, family and children. He loved the Baddeck area of Cape Breton – building his home there. He was quite the remarkable man.
