Sitka National Historical Park

The park preserves a landscape central to Kiks.ádi Tlingit history and the 1804 battle with Russian forces. Tlingit and Haida totem poles line coastal rainforest trails; the visitor center presents Indigenous art, exhibits and a short film. The separate Russian Bishop’s House interprets the Russian colonial period. Allow time for both landscape and living cultural traditions, and follow ranger guidance around artwork and demonstrations.
