Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project

Community Partnerships

The strong tradition of public partnership between the City of Niles and the project has recently produced the Archaeology Advisory Committee. This committee will direct the future of archaeology at the fort, and has cemented the bond between WMU and the City of Niles. This partnership of academia and the public realm will ensure that community education and involvement remain primary goals of the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project. Members of the Advisory Committee represent the following interest groups, among others:

Fort St. Joseph Historical Association
Fort St. Joseph Museum
Northern Indiana Center for History
Western Michigan University
Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi
