The leaflets, a guide to the Newark Civil War Trail, were relaunched at the Gilstrap Centre, Castlegate, Newark.
The trail takes in sites of importance in the English Civil War, including Newark Castle, the Parish Church and The Wharf. The route can also be extended to include the Queen’s Sconce at Sconce and Devon Park.
A picture of the Woolpack pub, on Stodman Street, has been updated to one of its replacement, The Prince Rupert.
The chairman of Newark Civic Trust, Mr Peter Duncan, said: “The trail has been very popular and we have distributed over 10,000 leaflets in the last three years.
“People are fascinated by the past and have a deep interest in history and the civil war, in which Newark played such an important role.”
The leaflets cost £12,000 to print and were paid for by Nottinghamshire County Council through the Newark Town Partnership.
County councillor for Newark East, Mr Keith Girling, said: “I think this is a fantastic example of work to highlight the better parts of Newark, and a very worthwhile project.”
