Wonderful history
We happened across this gem as we were exploring the streets of Sitka. Very interesting history and artifacts on display. Small but meaningful. I was even privileged to play the box organ that had been shipped from Estonia in the early years of the church.

Friendly
We were visiting the Cathedral across the street on a rainy Sunday morning and struck up a conversation with a lady who was opening the Lutheran Church. She was very welcoming, and warm.
