Baranof Castle State Historic Site, a National Historic Landmark. American flag raising site. In 1867, when Alaska was transferred from Russia to the US, the Russian flag was lowered and the American flag raised here. In 1959, when Alaska became the 49th State, the first 49-star American flag was raised here. Once the site of a two-story log mansion known as Baranof's Castle, which overlooked Sitka Sound during the Russian fur trading era. A fully accessible walkway leads visitors to the top of the hill and provides outstanding views of downtown Sitka and waterfront. Interpretive panels provide opportunities to learn more about the history of this site.
