Lot of little known history here.
We visited the Russian Bishop's House and spent about an hour. We were not able to take the upstairs tour because it filled up. We were not aware of Russian influence on the community of Sitka and the school. The exhibits were interesting and we learned so much about the history of Sitka.

Interesting History, Free Tour
This national monument had some interesting history that is best learned on a free tour offered throughout the day. There is a small museum downstairs, accessible without a tour, but the best sights are upstairs.
