Alaska was on the Owen County line three miles east of 
Putnam County, in southwestern Ashland Township, Morgan 
County Indiana. Sheasville was an earlier name of the 
community and it consisted of about 12 families. In 
1874 there was no store in Alaska and citizens traded 
in nearby Lewisville. A church is the only modern marker 
of the village. The current Alaska Christian Church is 
on Lewisville Road approximately one-half mile west of 
the intersection of 1150 West and Lewisville Road and 
was reportedly built half way between the towns of 
Lewisville and Alaska. This would mean Alaska was 
one-half mile west of the church. The area is now fields 
of corn and soybean with a few rural homes.
