#DYK that Mabel Hubbard Bell's financial investment in her husband Alexander Graham Bell's work made her the first financier of the aviation industry in North America? She was also a social reformer and supported innovation in education. Learn her story: https://t.co/4FqekWYgQn

Did you know, in 2018, we named a roadway after Mabel Hubbard Bell to recognize her contributions to Canadian aeronautics?

She also made incredible contributions to ecology. Check out the article below!

Mabel Hubbard Bell's extraordinary efforts were often overshadowed by the fame of her husband. Deaf at age five, she established the public library in Baddeck & in 1907 was the 1st woman to form & manage an aviation company https://t.co/s8cuLwH3US #NSM150 #MuseumWeek #womenMW

Celebrating his 175th anniversary today, this man literally changed the world and we named an National Historic Site after him. Does this ring a bell? Check out our latest Instagram and Facebook #WeeklyHistory Stories to see who we're talking about. https://t.co/w8Xwh6oM7f

Everyday Mysteries: Many people were working on a "talking telegraph" in the 1800s, but who filed the patent and is credited with the invention of our telephone? The answer might ring a bell: https://t.co/jGDMnzCmhH

#HappyBirthday Alexander Graham Bell, born #OnThisDay in 1847. In 1915 in New York City, he called his former assistant Watson, who was in San Francisco, thus making the first transcontinental phone call (he said the same thing he said the first time.) https://t.co/myQl9rDxYM
