Bump Grave

Bump Grave (admission by donation) is the final resting place of Nanny, the legendary Maroon leader and Jamaica’s first national heroine. It’s the principal attraction in Moore Town; a plaque and monument recall her glorious leadership and victory over British forces that tried unsuccessfully to conquer the Maroons. Bump Grave is fenced off, but the gate can be opened by the caretaker of the school located across the road. Call to alert the Colonel (cell tel. 876/898-5714) or Maroon Council Secretary Charmaine Shackleford (cell tel. 876/867-6939) of your arrival to ensure someone is around to open the gate.
