Sitka Historical Museum

Sitka Historical Museum serves as Sitka, Alaska’s city museum, presenting the community’s history from the Tlingit people through European exploration, the Russian period, and later eras. Formerly called the Isabel Miller Museum, it is operated by the Sitka Historical Society and Museum. The society began in 1957, but Sitka did not gain a dedicated museum space until 1967, when the museum opened in Harrigan Centennial Hall. Besides public exhibitions, it developed archives and research holdings that support deeper study of local history. After a temporary closure during renovations to Harrigan Centennial Hall in 2015, the museum reopened in 2018.
