Bell bought property in Cape Breton as a summer house. But he was involved in early flight experiments and the first flight in Canada took place here-in winter on the frozen Bras d' Or Lake.

Cheticamp to Baddeck-Alexander Graham Bell
Raining again this morning, but the weather forecast was definitely more depressing than yesterday. We decided to drive to Baddeck, the summer home to Alexander Graham Bell and a very nice museum. What an amazing list of inventions for this man. He and his wife gave generously to organizations that encouraged scientific investigations, such as the Volta Institute and the National Geographic. His wife, once his student, was deaf. He was very involved in teaching deaf people how to communicate and speak. Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller were close friends.
