c. early 1960's

This summer color photo of a portion of Eklutna Village's Historical Park shows several small colorful traditional grave houses, or "spirit houses" as they're sometimes called, in foreground. The old log St. Nicholas Orthodox Church is seen in middle ground at left with the new white church constructed in 1962 slightly behind and to the right. A small brown shed of indeterminate purpose sits next to a large birch tree somewhat between the two churches. Heavy deciduous forest occupies the immediate background with a couple of residences partially visible at left. Miner views of mountain tops with very small snow remnants are evident behind the trees. Heavy black text in the upper left corner of the image identify the scene as: "Eklutna Historic Park; St. Nicholas Orthodox Church; Eklutna, Alaska".
