Sights in Accompong

  1. Accompong Community Centre & Museum

    Opposite the monument to Cudjoe, the Accompong Community Centre & Museum contains a motley miscellany of goombay drums, a musket, a sword, baskets and other artifacts from the Maroon era. Entry is included only as part of a community tour, which takes in a Maroon burial ground, a small herbal garden and the Kindah Tree, a stately mango tree, where the elders of the community congregate and which is considered sacred. If the museum's closed, call Mark Wright for a quick whip round the village.

  2. Cudjoe Monument

    Accompong is centered on the tiny 'Parade Ground,' where the Presbyterian church looks over a small monument that honors Cudjoe, the Maroon leader (the statue next to it is that of Leonard Parkinson, another Maroon freedom fighter).
