Review & FAQ:

Sitka National Historical Park is Alaska’s oldest National Park and is packed with things to see and do. The 113-acre park commemorates the rich history of Sitka and the epic battle between the Tlingit tribes and Russians in 1804. Main attractions in the park include a beautiful coastal rainforest that can be explored on ranger-led interpretive walks or self-guided hiking trails and over 20 totem poles and ethnographic displays. Other interesting sites include the Russian Bishop’s House, a modern Visitor Center designed to replicate a traditional clan house offering a short film on the park’s history, maps of the park and area, carving demonstrations, and Southeast Alaska Native regalia.
