The story that haunts this land
Your investigation begins in front of St. Anne's Anglican Church on Fox Hill Road, a central landmark of this New Providence district. This church, visible from the start of your route, is intrinsically linked to the community history of Fox Hill, a village that developed in the 20th century around its institutions. Facts engraved on its walls tell the first steps of the free community, and initial puzzles will guide you through virtual parish registers, revealing the names of the first freedmen and key dates of their establishment in this eastern part of New Providence.
Continue your exploration through Fox Hill Village, a historic vintage neighborhood on the eastern border of New Providence. The majestic and mature silk cotton trees that characterize the site are silent witnesses to its antiquity, indicating a significant human presence long before the emancipation laws. This remnant of an old neighborhood in the Nassau-New Providence region will confront you with visual puzzles: compare historical maps in augmented reality with current streets, and discern the changes that have marked the evolution of this place of life and freedom in the Bahamas.
Your journey then takes you along Fox Hill Road, the main artery that runs through the district and connects its landmarks over approximately 1.5 km. This key route, once used by local residents and communities, is now your path to truth. Clues hidden in the architecture of the buildings along this road will require you to observe details carefully. These observations will help you decipher messages left by Fox Hill residents in the 19th century, offering an immersion into the daily lives of the first post-emancipation generations in New Providence.
The intersection of Bernard Road and Fox Hill Road marks a crucial junction point of your investigation, accessible on foot in this residential area of New Providence. This area, with its guarded properties, holds secrets about the landowners of the time and the efforts of freedmen to acquire their own plots. Logic challenges await you here, inviting you to reconstruct virtual property deeds and identify the local figures who played a crucial role in building the neighborhood. Each step on New Providence soil brings you closer to understanding the code of emancipation.
Your adventure in Fox Hill concludes with a deep understanding of New Providence's emancipation legacy. This thematic circuit will have allowed you to visit key monuments and immerse yourself in the history of Fox Hill. Beyond the game, you will take with you concrete knowledge of the community's efforts and victories, the precise dates of its 20th-century development, and the places that shaped its identity. This interactive visit is an exploration of the heritage of the Bahamas, a vibrant testimony to perseverance and the building of a new life in New Providence.
