October Festivals
Alaska Day. Sitka, Alaska. October 18th.
Alaska is next to the northwest part of Canada -- farther north than any other state. At first, only Eskimos lived in Alaska. Many lived in houses made of snow and ice; they hunted fish and seals. Then the Russians came in to hunt the seals; the fur from the seals was made into beautiful coats and hats. In time, Alaska became part of Russia.
Alaska belonged to Russia until October 18th, 1865. The U.S. paid Russia $7.2 million for the land. Many Americans thought buying Alaska was a big mistake. They said the land was good for nothing. But in 1897, people found gold in Alaska; many Americans rushed to find some gold for themselves. Only a few became rich; but others stayed in Alaska because they liked the land.
Eskimos and old Russian families still live in Alaska. But most Alaskans are from other parts of the U.S. Alaska is most famous for Mt. McKinley, or Mt. Denali梩he highest mountain in North America. Sitka is near the Tongass National Forest, where you may fish, hike, kayak or canoe, or just look at the beautiful mountains. Sitka also has many beautiful buildings from the days when Alaska was part of Russia.
Alaska Day festival celebrates the day when Alaska became part of the U.S.桹ct. 18th. The three main events are:
a parade
a re-enactment ceremony, or ceremony like the one when Alaska became part of America
a dance where people dress up like they did 135 years ago

The people at the plantation dress up like Pilgrims; you can talk to them and ask them questions. You can also visit Pilgrim Hall while you are in Plymouth; it is one of the oldest museums in America.
If you are in Plymouth on Thanksgiving Day, you may eat a meal like the Pilgrims had on this feast day. But make a reservation - soon.You may also make reservations for meals on other days in October and November.
Note: By the way, the name "Plimouth" is the spelling used for the plantation. The town is spelled "Plymouth." "Plimouth" is an old-fashioned spelling dating from the 17th century; in those times, there were no rules for spelling and each writer did as he or she pleased. Today, people began to using this spelling for the plantation so readers could tell the difference between the plantation and the town ("Plymouth."). But the old settlement is spelled "Plymouth" in history books. Plimouth Plantation, Phone: 1-800-USA(872)-1620. www.visit-plimouth.com
