Haines, Alaska, Shopping

Welcome to the Bonosearch page for Shopping in Haines, Alaska, Shopping, Alaska

Haines is located in Haines Borough at the end of the Alaska Marine Highway (if you are entering the state) or the beginning of the Alaska Marine Highway (if you are leaving the state). Haines was originally called "Dtehshuh" by the Chilkat Indians, which means "end of the trail." Located on Portage Cove, Chilkoot Inlet of the upper arm of the Lynn Canal, Haines is 13 miles from Skagway by water, but 359 miles by road. The site is an old Indian trading post, which attracted Russian and American settlers and missionaries. It later grew as a mining supply center.

Just south of the city on Portage Cove is the site of Fort Seward, the first permanent U.S. military installation, which began as an Army post and ended up being incorporated into the city. Haines is also the home to the world's largest congregation of bald eagles. Visit Chilkat Eagle Bald Eagle Preserve, just 18 miles from Haines for a glimpse at these amazing birds of prey.
