When our 1998 survey encountered French and English artifacts along the banks of the St. Joseph River, no one knew that the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project would become an award-winning program with an international reputation attracting over 15,000 people to see remains of an 18th century trading post. Come see and hear what archaeology has revealed at one of the oldest European settlements in the western Great Lakes region.
