Baddeck & Alexander Graham Bell Museum (French Language)

Travel to the picturesque little village of Baddeck situated on the shores of the beautiful Bras d'Or Lakes in the heart of Cape Breton lsland, one of the world's scenic gems. It is here that Alexander Graham Bell spent the last 37 years of his life. Visit the Alexander Graham Bell Museum, operated by Parks Canada, which does full justice to the outstanding accomplishments of the man best known for the invention of the telephone, and remarkable contributions in the fields of medicine, genetics, electricity, sound and speech, as well as aeronautics and marine engineering.

The museum itself is architecturally striking, as its design is based on the tetrahedron form Bell used for his flight test kites and houses the most extensive collection of Bell artifacts contributed by the Bell Family. You can participate in a kite-making workshop and learn more about the principles of drag, lift and weight as you create a one-of-a kind flying masterpiece. Enjoy the views of Boulanderie Island, the Seal Island Bridge, Kelly's Mountain and St. Ann's Bay during the return drive to your ship.
