The Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project

You are invited to witness and practice archaeology at the site of Fort St. Joseph, an 18th century French mission, garrison, and trading post discovered by Western Michigan University archaeologists in 1998. Join one of our summer camps in which middle and high school students, teachers, and lifelong learners work alongside members of the archaeological field school, now in its 36th year. Plan to attend our open house event which features living history re-enactors, informational panels and displays, and ongoing excavations, enjoyed by over 10,000 visitors since 2006.
