A Fun Thing to do in Sitka, Alaska!

A one hour adventure awaits you!​

​

Walk with the spirits left behind from the Russian-American era as you step back in time with the "Ghosts of Historic Sitka."  Prepare to be captivated with chilling and ghostly tales as you uncover the charms of the most undoubtedly historic city in all of Alaska. Gaze upon the old military barracks and wooden sidewalks as you learn about Sitka’s rich and turbulent history of battles, hangings, prostitution, and even disappearing ships.  

 

You are invited to unlock the secrets of an era when Russian explorers clashed with the indigenous Tlingit people at this truly historic seaport. Hear the saga of October 18, 1867, the day of the infamous transfer of the Alaskan Purchase and Seward’s Folly.

This walking tour is 1 hour in length and led by a guide wearing an 1860s costume to represent the era. The walking terrain includes slight inclines, 10 or less steps at a time, and frequent stops during the walk. This is one of the best short tours in Sitka for cruise passengers with limited time and an Alaska cruise ship favorite!
