The
Chatham Windmill is located southwest of downtown Chatham, in the southern section of Chase Park, between Shattuck and Gristmill Lanes. It is a wood-frame structure, set on a rise overlooking the Mill Pond on Chatham's south shore. It is about three stories in height, with an octagonal shape

that tapers to a gabled cap and is covered in wooden shingles. The cap's side faces are slightly bowed. The wind vanes are attached to one of the gabled ends of the cap. Entrances are located at the northern and southern sides of the structures, and there are small windows on the second level.

The mill was built in 1797 by
Benjamin Godfrey and was used to grind corn. It was originally located on Stage Harbor Road and was moved to its present location in 1955, the year it was given to the town. The methods used in its construction suggest that the builder was from the southeast of

England. The mill remained in commercial use until 1907 when it was significantly damaged in a storm. Although it was repaired, it was again damaged by severe weather in 1929. The mill has undergone several phases of rehabilitation, during which worn and rotted parts have been replaced.
