Review:
The Sitka Historical Museum is a lovely place to spend the day learning about the area’s history and people through a large and diverse collection of artifacts. The museum is operated by the Sitka Historical Society, which is an organization that has been around for over sixty years. While there, you’ll be able to see several hundred pieces of fine art, paintings, and prints, as well as over 8,000 artifacts which date back centuries. You’ll get a wonderful visual understanding of what Sitka was like years ago through the 25,000+ historic photographs which are on display there, as well as with the details entailed in over 100,000 archival documents. Some pieces on display that shouldn’t be missed include their many bear tooth necklaces, Russian trade beads, and archaeological fragments from Vitus Bering’s ship, Saint Peter.
