Michigans Great Southwest

Tour of St. Joseph, Michigan


At the other end of Lake Bluff Park, walkers can view another historic memorial, the Spirit of the American Doughboy. The Auxiliary Unit 568 of Stevensville "adopted" this work and funded its restoration as a memorial for all those who served in the Great World War. You will find that St. Joseph has a large number of war memorials along the Lake Bluff. They have been visited by many of our country's most honored veterans.


Not far from the Doughboy Memorial is the LaSalle boulder. In 1902, the glacial boulder was extracted from the bed of the St. Joseph River and made into a monument in memory of the French explorer who built Fort Miami.




If you don't feel like walking around the town, hitch a ride. Tourists come to St. Joseph every year by the tens of thousands to enjoy the beaches and Lake Michigan, the St. Joseph River, downtown shopping, festivals and more. Silver Beach, a County Park in downtown St. Joseph attracts over 150,000 annually, and the number of visitors continues to grow. Annual festivals in St. Joseph draw increasing numbers of tourists to the community.
