Information signs provide an explanation and a map of the city, showing those buildings from which these stones have been retrieved. It is a stone archive as it were, that also attracts tourists, as it gives a glimpse into the history of Workum and especially what has disappeared over the centuries. By exhibiting the stones, a little piece of the city's history becomes visible again.
The map alongside the stones shows exactly where the buildings were located. There is a booklet about this, “Workums Stenen Archief”, which is available from Museum Warkums Erfskip in the old weighing house across the market Each stone tells its own story, with a little help from the photos.
