OUTSIDE DOWNTOWN. The historical park has been in operation since 1990, with the purpose of preserving the cultural traditions of these south-central Alaskan native peoples. The first stop during your visit is the village Heritage House, where old photographs, native art, and historical presentations are displayed. The Eklutna cemetery is dotted with "spirit houses," colorful shrines to the ancestors buried beneath. This tradition is a unique blend of native and Russian influences. Greater Anchorage's oldest building, the Russian Orthodox St. Nicholas Church is also located within the park. Tours are available through Russian Orthodox St. Nicholas Church.
