Go on a voyage of discovery with Robert Jacob Gordon and Lize
Sometime between 1743 and 1755, a boy grew up in Doesburg. This boy eventually became an explorer and commander under King William V. This is the story of Robert Jacob Gordon. Robert Jacob finds a way to come to our time and goes on an adventure with Lize. Will you join them? The walk starts next to the Arsenal on Kloosterstraat. It takes about an hour to an hour and a half and is also wheelchair friendly.
