Sitka
- Borough of Sitka Borough in Alaska
- As Noted In: Preserve America Community, United States Executive Branch
Sitka - once the Capital of Alaska when the 'great land' was under Russian rule; Sitka rich in historic and scenic appeal, famous for its earlyday trading with the peoples of the entire Pacific Coast, has a romantic and turbulent background difficult to imagine. Today it is a beautiful, peaceful little town...surmounted by majestic Mount Edgecumbe, America's replica of Japan's famed Mount Fujiyama. The old Russian blockhouse [Replica block house on the N side of the Pioneer's Home, Katlian St] - The Cathedral; beautiful, totem lined, Lover's Lane, Indian River Park [Sitka National Historical Park, Alaska's oldest federally designated park, established 1890] - these and many other places of interest will make our stay in Sitka linger in the memory forever.
