The first Protestant church in Alaska was built on this site. It was founded in 1840 when Governor Etholén brought Rev. Uno Cygnaeus from Finland to establish a Lutheran congregation. The Russian-U.S. transfer agreement of 1867 specifically deeded this site to members of the Lutheran church for their use forever.
