Review:
Located in the Sitka National Historical Park, the Russian Bishop's House is a historic house museum and one of the oldest surviving buildings of Russian America. Built in 1843 as a home to the Bishop Innocent of the Russian Orthodox Church and a Russian Mission Orphanage, the spacious, two-story building featured a school, chapel, formal reception hall, and seminary. Situated at Lincoln and Monastery Streets in Sitka, the now National Historic Landmark building features exhibits showcasing items from life in Russian America, including samovar teapots, sea otter pelts, and a replica of a Russian possession plaque found in Old Sitka, and visitors can explore the house on ranger-led tours.
