Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site

The Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site contains exhibits of original artifacts, documents, and experimental devices from Bell's research laboratory and personal collections.

The museum opened in 1954 as a federal heritage building to preserve Bell's legacy, housing materials from the Bell family's private collection at Kite House.

The institution maintains extensive records of Bell's work in deaf education and sound transmission, demonstrating the evolution of communication technology in North America.

Located at 559 Chebucto Street, the museum operates daily from May through October, offering guided tours and educational programs about scientific innovation.

The site displays the original hull of the HD-4 hydrofoil boat, which achieved a marine speed record of 112 kilometers per hour in 1919.
