Public Archaeology
Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project
Public Archaeology
Making archaeology accessible to the public is a major goal of the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project. It is the community’s history that is being unearthed and interpreted by project researchers, and it is very important that they have the opportunity to learn about the project’s findings and even take part in the archaeological process.
In addition to offering Summer Camps and hosting an Open House each year during the field season, other public events that the project has hosted or that faculty, staff, and/or students have participated in in the past include:
- Michigan Archaeology Day, Lansing, MI
- Support the Fort Education Days, Niles, MI
- Kalamazoo Living History Show, Kalamazoo, MI
- Plow Day, Buchanan, MI
- WMU Day at the Capitol, Lansing, MI
- Regional History Day, Buchanan, MI
- Summer Archaeology Lecture Series, Niles, MI
- French Market, Niles, MI
- Friday Afternoon Site Tours, Niles, MI
