The entrance has a sign stating cemetery. It is 2.6 Kms from the turn at A Line Road. It is on the right side of the road.

The Fort St. Joseph Cemetery is located on the right side of the Fort Road off the A Line in Jocelyn Township, a short distance from the Visitors' Center at Old Fort St. Joseph Point.

There are eleven wooden crosses place haphazardly in the small clearing, with a monument at the entrance of the cemetery. Only six transcriptions were obtained from research done by a legal firm in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in the mid 1950's.

The inscription reads as follows:
This cairn marks the site of Fort St. Joseph Cemetery in which are the graves of soldiers and fur traders who died here between the years 1796 and 1812.
