What to See in Sitka
 Sitka's
history is alive with Native-Alaskan and Russian culture.
The Russians established a fur trading post at the town's
present site and maintained it until Alaska was purchased
by the United States in the 1860s.
Sitka was a major
port in the mid-1800s and a center for lumber and the
fur trade.
Located on the western coast of Baranof Island, Sitka
has retained many of the Native and Russian influences,
including historical buildings as well as museums and
cultural centers that are within walking distance of
each other.
