Review:
The Baranof Castle State Historical Site , also popularly known as Castle Hill, is one of the most substantial historical sites in the entire state. The area was originally inhabited by Tlingit natives, who built a strategic fortification against those attempting to occupy their land. It was here that Alaska was officially transferred from Russia to the United States in 1867. Visitors will be able to explore the recognized National Historic Landmark via the many accessible walkways that lead them to the top of the hill. At the very top you’ll be able to see gorgeous views of the waterfront and downtown Sitka.
