Given the theme of this year’s Joint Conference, it is appropriate that we are holding it in Niagara Falls, less than an hour away from Alexander Graham Bell’s family home in Brantford, Ontario.
The Bell Homestead National Historic Site, located in Brantford, also known by the name of its principal structure, Melville House, was the first North American home of Professor Alexander Melville Bell and his family, including his last surviving son, scientist Alexander Graham Bell. The younger Bell conducted his earliest experiments in North America there, and later invented the telephone at the Homestead in July 1874. In a 1906 speech to the Brantford Board of Trade, Bell made the following comment, "the telephone problem was solved, and it was solved at my father's home".
