Dr. Alexander & Mabel Bell’s chimney at Bell’s Lake
Trail Tour includes a short walk~5 min to chimney site. Our guide will take you on a separate trail direct to the location of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell and Mabel Bell's cottage on Bell's Lake. There is a short walk through the woods which will reward you with glimpse of history, circa 1895 ~ the stone chimney of Bell's cabin. Bell once said, "I have travelled around the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and the Highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton out-rivals them all." We agree and believe you will too! Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, and widely known scientist and investigator, died at home on Beinn Bhreagh Mountain, Baddeck at age 75 (1922). This historic site was his cabin on beautiful Bell's Lake.
