Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone near Brantford, Ontario, a city not far from where I live. It’s an interesting day trip to visit the Bell Homestead, one of Ontario’s oldest historic home museums, an educational experience for my grandson.
Although Mr. Bell invented the telephone in 1874 in Brantford by the Grand River, he was born in Scotland and his family moved to Canada when he was 23 years old.
This is a monumental place when you think of the significance of this invention, one of the most important scientific inventions in history! The first long distance phone call was made from Brantford to Paris (that is Paris, Ontario).
Take a look inside …
I used to spend hours on the phone, now I spend hours blogging.
A perfect location for a photoshoot …
A lovely afternoon in the countryside, this was a wonderful science, history, geography and biography lesson for my grandson. 🙂
Are there any interesting historical sites in your area?

Beautiful beautiful pictures and a very handsome grandson, Carmen! I live near Reading, Pennsylvania, home of the Reading Railroad from the Monopoly game. I wish we had a railroad museum, but alas, we do not!

First off, great outfit for exploring the Bell Homestead. I wonder if the “younger generation” knows that you once had a rotary dial for dialing a number and not a touch screen???
I still have a rotary dial phone in my basement like that green one in your picture. I guess I’m dating myself 🙂

How nice to see your grandson, so big and handsome. And how wonderful to see the most beautiful grandmother in the world with him. I love your picture with the phone, you look like one of those Hollywood stars in the vintage photos of the most beautiful film era. The most beautiful actresses, but can not compete with you. I like the look nice today, with tight black pants your wonderful legs, delicate shirt and lingerie top, next to the stunning shoes, super fashion blogger. And I like your hair a bit tousled by the wind in these pictures, showing all its softness and delicacy. A beautiful look, very nice post, a woman who just my words …

As usual, a lovely outfit dear Carmen. I see that you had your wires crossed, or were you talking to yourself. LOL. The only historical site in this village is me. Big hug 😀 ❤

Your grandson surely enjoyed the visit! And you surely were the most lovely lady!
There are many interesting historic places next to where I live.One of them is the Egiptian Museum of Turin which is the second for importance in the world. I visited it many times and always I had the chance to learn something I didn’t know…

Bonjour
En cette nouvelle journée
Comme un oiseau de tendresse
Je viens te chanter mon bonjour
Comme on chante les belles histoires
Je te peints mes pensées à l’encre de mes mots
Comme on peint les jolis tableaux
Je te dessine le contour de mes plus beaux sentiments
Comme on dessine l’innocence à travers les yeux d’un enfant
Je t’ai écris ces quelques lignes nappées de bonheur
Comme on écrit les plus beaux souvenirs
Je te souhaite une bonne journée . avec des petits bisous
AMITIE
Bernard

Very interesting this post! I visited Brantford long time ago, when I had a job interview over there, however wasn’t aware about the Bell memorial house. My husband and I will visit this historic site very soon, it’s on our ‘to do’ list now!
Kitchener has a museum reminding us of our city’s history – Joseph Schneider Haus. Schneider was one of the Mennonite settlers and regarded the founder of Kitchener.
Did I tell you that your outfit is beautiful?

Glad you like it and I hope you go soon! They give a very informative tour, a lovely place, both inside and the grounds. I’ll post some more photos of inside this evening. I’ve been to the Joseph Schneider Haus and watched a demonstration of pottery being made.
As for my outfit, I’ll wear it to class today!
See you at dance!

Thank you for your kind comment! It is a beautiful estate by the river, Aleck called it “his dreaming place.” Please check back tomorrow, as I am adding photos of inside which my grandson took.

That’s what I like too, places where we can step back into history and get a glimpse of days long past. I’m sure the Plant Museum and historical houses are interesting, would love to go but I’m too far away. Please go there for me and take photos to share on your blog! Thank you! 🙂
Blessings!
