Great guided tour and also self guided tours. Great tour guide, knew her stuff! Worth a little visit.
A nice historic place to visit. The house is kept and preserved in pristine condition and tours are available every hour. Apart from being a birthplace of great scientific discovery, the place in itself is a quintessential representation of 1800s architecture and interior design. The oil lamps, light fixtures (though most converted into electric) give a neat authentic vibe, so does a high end step stove in kitchen.Its a must see for science/history fanatics out there as well as everyone else.
What a cute National Historic Site as National Historic Sites go. This is a mini-complex. It's been a museum site since about 1910...who knew. There's the house where Alexander Graham Bell lived. It was originally his father's house. I liked it. You could wander around the various rooms which surprised me. In most museums movement is strictly controlled. The tour guide was very good, funny, friendly and very knowledgeable. The other house had displays of old telephones and an old switchboard. You can also have lunch or a snack in the restaurant. It holds about 30 people. I was there on a Saturday and wasn't busy. Apparently you have to make reservations here weekdays because that's when they're busy. Our waiter was very friendly and eager to please...service was great. OK so my quiche was a tad smallish. It tasted good and the salad was fresh. Prices are reasonable...try it. There's also a cute little gift shop...check it out...again friendly staff. Easy and free parking. The museum is on Tutela Heights Rd in a very nice section of Brantford. Support Brantford and take a quick look at their downtown. They have a great casino there. All in all a very nice visit. We have so few National Historic Sites as Canadians we should visit them & this one is a good one..very interesting. About 2 hours from Toronto via QEW towards Hamilton then the 403.
Awesome place to go! Ive been there twice to bring different family members who come to visit us and its also a valuable experience! Highly recommend!
One of the best must see historic tourist attractions for Brantford. It improves year after year. If you want to learn about the history and impact Alexander Graham Bell made on the world...drop in and take the tour. I will not spoil the surprise!
