154) Sitka National Historic Park

Visited: Saturday, July 15, 2023 - Sunday, July 16, 2023

It was really nice to (1) visit a historic park, rather than a national park, again, and (2) actually be given time to explore it.  Unfortunately, things were timed such that we didn’t get to see the Russian Bishop’s House, but otherwise we covered things pretty well.  Sitka, for both local and colonial history, is rather old, and has more to it - battles and more battles and departures and  returns and growing acceptance - than I would have guessed.  If you find yourself in Sitka, the raptor center and bear fortress are worth visiting as well.
