Sitka National Cemetery, Military cemetery in Sitka, Alaska.
The Sitka National Cemetery spans 4.3 acres of land and contains over 1,500 graves of military personnel, veterans, and their family members.
General Jefferson C. Davis established this cemetery between 1868 and 1870 as the first commander of the Department of Alaska for military personnel.
The cemetery holds the remains of John Green Brady, who served as governor of Alaska Territory from 1897 to 1906 and influenced regional development.
Located at 803 Sawmill Creek Road, the cemetery operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with adjusted hours during weekends.
Two memorial cannons stand within the grounds, and Staff Sergeant Archie Van Winkle, a Korean War Medal of Honor recipient, has a cenotaph here.
