Invention of the Telephone
1874
Text from the plaque
Here, at the home of his father, on 26th July, 1874, Alexander Graham Bell disclosed for the first time his conception of the principle of the telephone. From Brantford calls were made to Mount Pleasant on 3rd, to this homestead on 4th, and to Paris, Ontario, on 10th August, 1876. The latter is now recognized as the world's first long distance call.
