• Three Saints Russian Orthodox Church

  The crowning jewel of Old Harbor - and the hub of community activity - is the historic Three Saints Russian Orthodox Church that first established by the Russian priest in 1795. When the church survived Old Harbor the tsunamis that followed the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake, locals viewed it as a miracle considering the entire surrounding town site had washed away.
