Meeting Room ABC

Portrayed by Bob Gleason of The American Historical Theater.

 Born to a deaf mother, Bell was taught elocution by his father who invented a phonetic alphabet called Bell's Visible Speech, influencing Alexander's later career choice as teacher of the deaf. To earn money to open a school, Bell applied his talents to improve the telegraph, enabling more than one message to be sent at a time. And that was just the beginning of a life spent exploring, inventing and improving his world. At the 1876 U.S. Centennial Exposition at Fairmount Park, Bell exhibited his telephone for the first time: the "tipping point" for the progress of the 19th century.

Children 9+ are welcome with an adult.
