Baranof Castle State Historical Site
More commonly referred to as Castle Hill, the Baranof Castle State Historical Site is one of the most significant sites in Alaska. Today a winding path leads guests to the top of the hill and provides an outstanding view of the waterfront and downtown Sitka, as well as a wealth of information on the site's origins. Originally a Tlingit Native fortification site, and later used by the Russians as a military outpost, this is the actual site where, in 1867, the Russian flag was lowered and the American flag was raised, marking the transfer of Alaska to the United States.
