Shopping

There are some good shops and galleries in Sitka, mostly on Lincoln and Harbor streets. Several are across the street from St. Michael's Cathedral. Artist Cove Gallery, at 241 Lincoln St., shows art and contains a small but interesting section of used and out-of-print books about Alaska. Fishermen's Eye Fine Art Gallery and Graphic, at 239 Lincoln St., is owned by an artist who shows only work by Alaskans, most of it created in Sitka. Fairweather Prints, at 209 Lincoln St., has a fun, youthful feel; it is large and has a diverse selection, including wearable art (including T-shirts), watercolors, prints, ceramics, and cute, inexpensive crafts. Continue west on Lincoln to Baranov's Russian and American Store on the right, and, on the left, Log Cache Gifts, a typical gift store housed in an 1835 Russian cabin. Old Harbor Books, at 201 Lincoln St., is a good browsing store with an excellent selection of Alaska books. Back in the other direction, near the Crescent Harbor dock, the Sitka Rose Gallery occupies a Victorian house at 419 Lincoln St., featuring higher-end work, mostly local: sculpture, original paintings, engraving, and jewelry. The Sheldon Jackson Museum Gift Shop, 104 College Dr., is an excellent place to buy Alaska Native arts and crafts with assurance of their authenticity.
