Still remote and
relatively undisturbed, Fort St. Joseph symbolizes the commercial
and military alliance that existed between the British and the
First Nations peoples of the western Great Lakes region in the
aftermath of the American Revolutionary War through the War of
1812.
In addition to the Fort itself, the site contains a remarkable
assemblage of archaeological features which in their undeveloped
state reveal part of the complex pattern of military, domestic
and commercial life - Aboriginal and European - in this frontier
outpost.
