Chathams Godfrey Windmill

The Godfrey Windmill, constructed in 1797 by Colonel Benjamin Godfrey, is one of Chatham’s most iconic historical landmarks. Located in Chase Park, this restored gristmill stands as a testament to Chatham’s rich agricultural history, having been used to grind corn for local residents for over a century. The windmill is open for seasonal tours from late June through August on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, where visitors can learn about its historical significance and even witness it in action during special "Corn Grinding Days." It was meticulously restored in 2012, and today it remains a popular attraction where you can explore the structure’s inner workings and appreciate its craftsmanship.
