About

Sitka National Historical Park in Sitka, Alaska is the state's oldest national park—preserving the 1804 battle site where Tlingit warriors clashed with Russian colonizers, framed by ancient totem poles rising from lush Southeast Alaska temperate rainforest. The Russian Bishop's House, totem pole collection, and dramatic Pacific coastline create a uniquely layered historic environment encompassing Native Alaskan, Russian colonial, and American territorial history on a single spectacular site. Both interior Bishop's House and extensive exterior rainforest and coastal grounds available for filming with NPS authorization. The remote Sitka location requires advance logistics planning but delivers visual environments unavailable anywhere else on Earth. Perfect for Pacific Rim history documentary, Alaska Native cultural production, and any film requiring authentic Southeast Alaska historical atmosphere. A premier Alaska film location. Filming permits available through Sitka NHP Superintendent. NPS Special Use Permit required; remote location requires advance weather planning.
