Sitka Russian Bishop's House Tour & Church (St Michael's Cathedral) (4K)

Take a look inside the famous Russian Bishop's House in Sitka, part of the Sitka National Historic Park. There was no entrance fee, and the tour was free, though you could donate money on the way out. It was interesting learning about Bishop Innocent of Russia's time in Alaska, and of course his base in Novoarkhangelsk (what Sitka used to be called). There was a museum, as well as many of the original furniture/walls of the house, including the dining room, guest rooms, living room, arctic entryway, bedroom/office, and the chapel. Later on we also checked out St Michael's Cathedral nearby which Bishop Innocent held service at. Touring both places took roughly 90 minutes combined, and we enjoyed the experience.
