Sitka hosted the Tlingit natives, with their living culture still practiced
today. Sitka was the capital of Russian-America until its transfer to the U.S.
in 1867, on top of historical Sitka's Castle Hill. This multicultural city,
combined with the abundance of spectacular scenery and Alaskan hospitality,
makes Sitka by the Sea a natural place to visit! |
Sheldon Jackson Museum is the first concrete building of Alaska and hosts one of the largest collections of Alaskan Native artifacts in the state. The museum gives visitors a perspective on Native culture and life in the "Great Land" of Alaska. The New Archangel Dancers delight audiences with their lively folk dances of Russia to help preserve Sitka's Russian heritage. These authentic brightly costumed ladies volunteer to perform for visitors throughout the summer and special performances. The Russian Bishop's House is the oldest intact Russian building in Sitka (1842) built by the Russian American company as a residence for the Bishop of the Orthodox Church. This building's legacy of Russian American history hosts exhibits, refurbished Bishop's living quarters and the Chapel of the Annunciation with lavish icons. Isabel Miller Museum surprises visitors with a wide variety of Sitka's history in many displays, photographs and artifacts! A great first stop to learn about Sitka's Tlingit, Russian and American history. Sheet'ka Kwaan Naa Kahidi Dancers perform ancient songs passed down from generations in their traditional vibrant regalia at their traditional style Tlingit Clan house. Narration and interpretation explains this living culture and leaves a long lasting impression on visitors. Sitka Sound's pristine waters are abundant with watchable wildlife! Giant humpbacks, frolicking sea otters, soaring eagles, wide-eyed harbor seals and boisterous sea lions are just a few of the wildlife that are frequently viewed during boating excurions. Another exciting birding opportunity is Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, "St. Lazaria Island," home to thousands of nesting birds in the summer, including the ornate tufted puffin and its cousin, the rhinoceros auklet. |
