Alaska's National Historic Landmarks
Alaska’s nationally designated landmarks span the state from Kake, in Southeast Alaska, to Barrow on the Arctic Coast, and from Eagle on the Canadian border, to Attu at the end of the Aleutian chain. We have 15 prehistoric landmarks, or archaeological sites that date back to pre-European times, and 34 historic landmarks, places that illustrate the state’s past since Europeans arrived. Together, our landmarks tell the story of roughly 11,000 years of Alaska history.
