Welcome to the Chatham Windmill
- Built by Col. Benjamin Godfrey in 1797 -
- Historically Restored in 2012 -
The Godfrey Windmill's 2019 tour season
has come to a close.
We thank everyone who came to see the windmill this summer!
(Our 2020 season will begin next June)
The final day of our 2019 season truly was a Grand Finale - we were able to set the mill in motion, as can be seen in this video:
