  • Born in Edinburgh,Scotland,UK in 1847
  • Lived in Edinburgh until about 1862 when he moved to London to live with his Grandfather.
  • In 1863 he secured a position as a "pupil-teacher" in Weston House Academy, at Elgin, Moray, Scotland.
  • The following year (1864), he attended the University of Edinburgh (Scotland).
  • In 1865, when the Bell family moved to London, he returned to Weston House (Elgin, Moray, Scotland) as an assistant master.
  • During 1867, he served the next year as an instructor at Somerset College, Bath, England before returning home around the end of 1867 (London). In 1868, not long before he departed for Canada with his family, Bell completed his matriculation exams and was accepted for admission to the University of London - but did not attend.
  • In 1870, at age 23, he traveled to Canada with his parents and his brother's widow, staying for a while with a family friend in Paris, Ontario before the family settled in Tutelo Heights (now called Tutela Heights), near Brantford, Ontario.
  • Although he did a fair amount of traveling, the Brantford area remained home until he moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1872 where he opened his "School of Vocal Physiology and Mechanics of Speech"
  • In 1873 he alternated between Boston and Brantford, spending summers in his Canadian home
  • In 1873, backed by the father of one of his pupils, he moved to Salem, Massachusetts, although he continued to alternate between his Canadian home and Salem.
  • When he married on July 11, 1877, he moved to the estate of the family of his new wife in Cambridge, Massachusetts
  • In 1882 his father-in-law bought a home in Washington, DC for Bell's family so that they could be together while Bell attended numerous court hearings regarding patent disputes.
  • After vacationing in Baddeck Nova Scotia, he commenced building a house nearby. By 1889 the large house, christened The Lodge was completed and over the next couple of years he constructed a larger complex of buildings, including a new laboratory which was christened Beinn Bhreagh, after the Scottish Highlands he originally came from.
  • In his final, and some of his most productive years, Bell split his residency between Washington, D.C., where he and his family initially resided for most of the year, and at Beinn Bhreagh where they spent increasing amounts of time
