Milestones
The milestones told travellers how far they had gone and how many miles were left to the next resting place. Before the days when ordinary people could buy maps, signposts and milestones were the only guides. Bordering the gravel roads of Skansen there are 13 milestones from various parts of Sweden. The oldest is from 1666 and the youngest from 1811.
