Sitka Centennial Celebration
Designated Sitka National Monument on March 23, 1910, Sitka is the oldest park in Alaska, and among the oldest in the United States. In 2010, as the park celebrates its 100 year anniversary, an entire year of celebrations are on tap. March 20 - 23, 2010, marks the beginning of these events. You can use this webpage to learn more about each month of the celebration, and about the park itself. Sitka is a special place, and we hope you'll be able to attend one or more of these events and learn, or remind yourself, of what this park means to you.
