Kiki Kneeland has lived in Charlestown for almost her entire life. In 1977, she decided to share her love and knowledge of Eastern Massachusetts with those interested and so she established the Bay Colony Historical Tours. While she deals mostly with out-of-state clients, she loves the local vibe of Charlestown. Her favorite town event is the reenactment of Paul Revere's ride every year on Patriot's Day.
