There will be an open house this weekend at Fort St. Joseph in Niles. The Niles Historical Association says people can come out to see the site on Saturday, August 3 and Sunday, August 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It says the open houses are a chance for anyone to learn more about one of the most important French colonial sites in the Great Lakes region. Those who attend can talk with Western Michigan University archaeologists, watch period demonstrations at the Living History Village, and see excavations. The effort is a partnership between the city of Niles and WMU.
