 Last year's winner, Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project (Michigan)
A major project goal
of the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project since excavation began in
2002 is to make archaeology accessible to the public. Every year the
project holds summer camps for middle school and high school students,
teachers, and lifelong learners as well as a university level field
school. An annual open house features living history re-enactors,
lectures, informational panels and displays, site tours, music, food,
and
ongoing excavations and has been attended by over 10,000 visitors since
2006.
