Pompey Square (Nassau, Bahamas)

In 1830, a slave named Pompey led a revolt against slavery in The Bahamas, which was instrumental in the passing of the Emancipation Act in 1834. In 1992, the present-day Pompey Museum of Slavery and Emancipation was opened, named for this brave individual.

Ironically, the museum is located in a site that was once a public market and slave auction lot. The museum is located adjacent to an area known as Pompey Square. The square is a festive part of downtown Nassau where you’ll find plenty of dining, shopping, and entertainment. On Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. there is an open-air marketplace in Pompey Square where you can shop for authentic Bahamian crafts and art.
