The Maroon Museum (free admission) located at Asafu Yard has artifacts and crafts of Maroon heritage. There’s an adjoining commercial kitchen producing Jamaican cassava cakes, a gluten-free staple starch dating to the Taino and known locally as bammy.
Charles Town Maroon Colonel Frank Lumsden (cell tel. 876/445-2861) leads visitors on community tours and hikes (US$20/person) to Sambo Hill, the ruins of an 18th-century coffee plantation, Grandy Hole Cave, or Old Crawford Town, an old Maroon Village where Quao settled his people after the first Maroon War in 1739. The Colonel has a group of drummers who perform Koromanti drumming and dance.
