This entry points to the Steventon memorial to Pompey, who is remembered for resisting slavery in Exuma. The local historical guide places the memorial below the site of the settlement’s old jail. Another Exuma Secrets entry marks the same memorial, so a visitor planning a history drive should allow for a single stop here.

Practical visitor information
Use Steventon as the destination when asking about the memorial. The slave rebellion and the history of Rolleville are connected to the story, but the memorial itself is in Steventon. Confirm the current public approach locally before setting out.
