| has gloss | eng: Voznesenka is a small unincorporated community in Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska, United States. Located on the Kenai Peninsula, about 25 miles east of Homer, it is one of several villages founded by Russian Old Believers in the Fox River area. The village was founded in 1985 by residents who decided to leave Nikolaevsk and begin new settlements in the Kachemak Bay area. The village is situated on a bluff over the bay, and is the end of the maintained road system on the western Kenai Peninsula. A switchback trail leads down to the beach; it can be traveled by foot or 4-wheel drive vehicle to reach the neighboring village of Kachemak Selo. There are about 40 families living in Voznesenka. Although unincoprorated, the community has a mayor, a community council, and a water-utility board. There is also a community church and a public school in the village. Emergency services are provided by Kachemak Emergency Services Area Fire and EMS. The community is accessible by gravel road, the paved access road from Homer ending right where the village begins. |
