Eldredge Public Library

The Eldredge Public Library, located on Main Street in Chatham, was a gift to the town from local philanthropist Marcellus Eldredge. Built in 1896, this Romanesque Revival building is notable for its stunning architecture, featuring red brick walls, a slate roof, and intricate oak woodwork. Over the years, the library has expanded its space and services, including a dedicated Genealogy Department with over 7,000 resources for tracing family histories. The library offers year-round activities for all ages, such as summer programs for children and book discussions for adults. Visitors also have access to free Wi-Fi, computers, and a variety of digital media resources​.
