Chatham Windmill, Historic windmill in Chatham, Massachusetts, United States.
The wooden octagonal structure stands three stories high with a gabled cap, wind vanes, and shingle covering at Chase Park in Chatham.
Benjamin Godfrey constructed this mill in 1797 on Stage Harbor Road, where it operated commercially until 1907 before relocating to Chase Park in 1955.
The mill represents early American agricultural practices, serving as one of eleven wind-powered grist mills that supported local grain production in Chatham.
Visitors can explore the seasonal museum where a miller demonstrates traditional grain grinding techniques during specific operating hours.
The structure maintains its original mechanical components, making it one of the few surviving functional wooden windmills in Massachusetts.
