"So much of the practical development of the telephone has been in the United States that I think the fact that the telephone was invented in Canada should be more widely known than it is ~ at least in the United States." *

~ Alexander Graham Bell (1847 - 1922) inventor.

Brian, our tour guide today, ardently describes the scientific breakthrough that led to the invention of the telephone and points out the path to the banks of the Grand River where Alexander sat in a spot he called his "dreaming place."  (Thank you, Brian.)
