Russian village - Ninilchik

It's amazing to walk into a place where history is recorded in the buildings as well as people. Established in the 1820's, Ninilchik is the oldest community on Kenai Peninsula. Today many of the village's log houses are still occupied by descendents of the original Russian colonists who came with the Russian American Company. Even after Alaska was purchased by U.S., they kept their tradition generations after.
