Pompey Museum

The Pompey Museum is named in honour of a courageous slave, Pompey, who lived on the Rolle Plantation on Steventon, Exuma, Bahamas. Historic Vendue House, or the Bourse as it was known, was built some time before 1769 and continued to function as a marketplace until the late 1800s. Enslaved Africans and other commodities were sold at Vendue House during the 18th and 19th centuries. Pompey became a museum in 1992.
