Sitka National Historical Park, National Historical Park in Sitka, United States.
The 113-acre park features walking paths through coastal rainforest, displaying collections of totem poles and providing views of Tongass National Forest.
The park preserves the 1804 battle site between Tlingit natives and Russian fur traders, marking the last major conflict between Europeans and Alaska Natives.
The Russian Bishop's House, constructed between 1841 and 1843, represents Russian colonial architecture and contains exhibits about Russian America with original furnishings.
The National Park Service offers guided tours, cultural demonstrations, and educational programs about Tlingit traditions during summer months at the visitor center.
Salmon migrate through Indian River within the park boundaries, while eagles and black bears frequent the protected forest ecosystem.
