Chatham's History Weekend 2020

COVID-19 has changed the way we do so many things, including

the way we will celebrate Chatham's History Weekend this year. 

The Godfrey Windmill will not be open for tours during

History Weekend 2020, but we are participating in

Historic Chatham's Virtual Tour

Based on last year's very successful bus tour, this year's

virtual guided tour will feature stops at

Historic Chatham's Museums and Historic Sites,

including the Godfrey Windmill.

There will be two Virtual Tours on

Saturday, June 13th  

at 10 AM and 2 PM

The tours are Free

 but space is limited, so

click here to reserve your place

on one of the tours!

Additional information about the virtual tour and History Weekend 2020 can be found on the Historic Chatham website.

2020 Tour Schedule*

We will be open for tours in the summer of 2020, when our guides will be available to discuss the inner workings of this historic grist mill and to answer your questions.  

*Tours may be cancelled due to rain or severe weather conditions. (This is done to protect this centuries-old mill from water damage.)

Admission is free - Donations to support the mill are always welcome! 

Special Hours: Group occasions (weddings, parties, private tours, etc.) may be arranged
