About Haines
Haines is a small town in Alaska's Panhandle on the Lynn Canal fjord, ringed by glaciated mountains and known for bald eagles, bears and Tlingit culture.
Haines sits on the western shore of Lynn Canal, a long fjord in south-east Alaska, with the Chilkat Mountains rising straight behind the harbour. The Chilkat Tlingit have lived in the valley for centuries and are known for their woven ceremonial blankets and carved poles. Fort William H. Seward, an army post built in 1902 and now a group of white wooden buildings around a parade ground, stands above the water.
