On August 10, 1876, the world’s first long-distance phone call was made from a shop in the village of Paris to the Alexander Graham Bell Homestead near Brantford.

Alexander Graham Bell was a scientist, inventor, engineer, and innovator who is credited with patenting the first practical telephone.

In 1870, aged 23, the Bell family travelled from Scotland to Canada and purchased a farm at Tutela Heights, near Brantford, Ontario.
