Today we took a drive to the quiet village of Baddeck on an
inner shore of the great Bras d’Or Lake.
A well known landmark is the picturesque lighthouse on Kidston Island.
We visited the Alexander Graham Bell Museum which exhibits
the many scientific contributions invented by Bell. Although he is best known for his invention
of the telephone, his genius carried him much further into scientific research
than most people realize. He made
important contributions to the fields of medicine, aeronautics, marine
engineering and genetics. He also
carried out extensive research in the areas of electricity, sound, and speech. Of all his interests the one that Bell
himself identified as being closest to his heart was his interest in improving
the teaching of the deaf.
