Fort St. Joseph National Historic Site of Canada is
composed of the remnants of three archaeological sites: Old Fort St.
Joseph Point, Rains Point and LaPointe Point, all located on adjacent
points of land projecting into Lake Huron on St. Joseph Island at the
narrow mouth where it connects with Lake Superior. Official recognition
refers to the legal limits of Old Fort St. Joseph Point, Rains Point and
LaPointe Point.
Explore the ruins of Fort St. Joseph National
Historic Site and feel the rich War of 1812 history that lingers – a
history that saw a powerful alliance struck between the British and the
First Nations People of the western Great Lakes region. Hike to Lake
Huron’s edge, experience history through heritage demonstrations, watch
for more than 100 species of birds, and view authentic artefacts from
the old fort.
