Special Presentation by Sharon Morrow For Alexander Graham Bell the telephone was only the beginning of a lifelong pursuit of communication, knowledge and invention. As a teacher he helped deaf people bridge the world between sound and silence. Ideas led him to transmit sound on sunlight and to create a treadle powered device that improved sound recording and reproduction. Air and water captured his imagination. He developed man-carrying kites, airplanes and a marine record setting hydrofoil boat. Parks Canada, Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site of Canada, is pleased to have this opportunity to share his story with you, a story filled with family, friends, associates and a magnificent Nova Scotia home, Beinn Bhreagh, still owned by his descendants. 
“Alexander Graham Bell circa 1915” 
“Dr. and Mrs. Bell in the garden at Beinn Bhreagh, 1909” “Wealth and fame are coveted by all men, but the hope of wealth or the desire for fame will never make an inventor ... you may take away all that he has, and he will go on inventing. He can no more help inventing than he can help thinking or breathing, inventors are born not made.” (Alexander Graham Bell 1847 - 1922) Presentation Dates
