BRANTFORD The Bell Homestead National Historic Site in Brantford has taken its education program overseas. The museum, which highlights Alexander Graham Bell, is now offering virtual education programs to students around the world amid the COVID-19 pandemic. With class field trips coming to an end over a year ago, we had to adapt so that we could still offer those programs, even though students couldn t come to us, said the museum s curator, Brian Wood.

Modern technology has given us the ability to be in almost constant touch with one another. But, will our emails and texts still exist a hundred years from now? For decades, letter writing was often an everyday occurrence for most people. Keeping in touch meant sitting down with pen and paper. Receiving a letter was often an exciting event, especially from someone miles away.

The Bells were profuse writers and as a result, their story can be told today through thousands of letters.
