White Glove Tour at the Alexander Graham Bell Museum

559 Chebucto Street , Baddeck



Date: Sep 1, 2025

The telephone, the airplane, the hydrofoil – the story of Bell’s involvement in these innovative works is featured prominently throughout the site. However, if you’re curious about the personal life of one of the world’s greatest inventors, take a behind-the-scenes look on our White Glove Tour. A small group of participants will be taken to the White Glove Room. This small room is accessible through a series of ramps. Here they’ll be offered a rare look into the often-overshadowed personal lives of Alexander Graham Bell and his loving wife Mabel. Items can be handled and are verbally described by the guide. See how artifacts, including Bell’s favourite jacket, a personal notebook, and a walking stick with an interesting backstory, are conserved for future generations. Hear how Parks Canada has continued to protect and preserve the stories and objects that Bell himself felt were essential to an understanding of his life. Come hold history in the palm of your hand! Each tour lasts 30 minutes.
10:30-11am / 2-2:30pm (English) / (French by request) | $9 (adult) / $7.50 (senior) / FREE (under 17)
