About this activity

Being an Islander all my life, with my family having deep roots here, you will not only learn about the history and geography of Charlottetown and the Island as we walk through the historic streets but also hear many personal anecdotes. Some of these will be about the history of the Kelly family while others will be more personal. Whether you're from here or from away I think you will leave with a deeper appreciation of the place I call home.
