welcome to chatham PHOTO COURTESY OF BRIAN POWERS

CHATHAM. IT’S WHERE YOU WANT TO BE. We would like to welcome you to our beautiful town and hope you will enjoy your time here. We think you will agree that Chatham is a very special and memorable place to visit.

You will find the natural beauty of Chatham remarkable. Visitors are drawn to the expansive and magnificent beaches, the lighthouse, wildlife, nature trails, bike path, and stunning views of the ocean. Chatham has a special blend of the past and present with quaint streets lined with historic sea captains’ homes, a fine selection of historic museums, and a walking downtown area with unique shops, galleries, and restaurants.

Lodging options range from a spectacular oceanfront resort to lovely bed and breakfast inns tucked in throughout this picturesque seaside village. www.chathaminfo.com

Chatham is located on the elbow of Cape Cod surrounded on three sides by water.

Located halfway between Falmouth and Provincetown, it extends out to sea as the most easterly point in Massachusetts. Once a quiet farming and fishing community, Chatham has become a vibrant tourist destination. Rich in its maritime heritage, as well as a spirited New England town with a variety of small businesses, Chatham is a special place for year-round residents and visitors alike.

We hope you will find our town as special as we do, and that you will return many times in the future to enjoy the beauty of this wonderful seaside village and all that it has to offer.

all about chatham PHOTO COURTESY OF ROBIN LIT WIN

One of Cape Cod’s oldest townships, Chatham was settled in 1656 by William and Anne Busby Nickerson.

Incorporated in 1712, Chatham now has approximately 6,200 residents, according to the town census list.

Originally a farming community, Chatham’s inhabitants found deep sea fishing to be a more lucrative occupation.

Today, small boat deep sea fishing and shellfishing continue as important maritime industries.

Chatham covers an area of approximately 17 square miles and is a happy combination of past and present.

You will find Chatham to be an old-fashioned and picturesque New England seaside village, yet offering the best in modern facilities. Surrounded by water on three sides, Chatham benefits from Mother Nature’s “natural air conditioning” with cool summers, exquisite autumns, and mild winters. It is a comfortable place in which to live year-round or visit on vacation.

Chatham operates under the town meeting form of government. The executive officers are a board of five part-time Selectmen and a Town Manager. The citizens of Chatham enjoy the special benefits of forward-looking zoning and planning, and both public and private conservation efforts.

weather SUMMER: Chatham lies at the “elbow” of the Cape — at latitude 41.40 North and longitude 69.58 West. We are fortunate in having navigable waters on three sides, and, as a result, the average summer temperature is close to 70 degrees. We do have fogs but they’re rarely cold in summer. They are a boon to our gardens and usually yield to the sun by noon. Chatham fogs are just one more “conversation piece.”

AUTUMN & INDIAN SUMMER: This is one of our finest seasons, growing more popular each year. The water is never bluer than in October, the air is bracing and dry, the scenery at its best with the sharpest colors of the year.

Swimming in September or early October is not too cold for hardy folk.

Indian Summer lingers through September, October, and well into November — a succession of glorious days and cool evenings.

It’s an uncrowded time for tennis and golf, bicycling and hiking, beach exploring, sailing and fishing. It’s all part of Chatham’s Indian Summer. Come savor it with us!

WINTER: Our average winter temperature is about ten degrees warmer than on the mainland. We do get an occasional fall of snow which doesn’t last.

SPRING: March to May is our spring, when we expect the thermometer to read in the upper thirties to low fifties most of the time. But when June comes, it “Busts Out All Over.” The waters of Pleasant Bay sparkle, and soon our famous roses and early flowers are in bloom everywhere.

seal watching

Harbor and gray seals are the most common species in Chatham, and can often be seen resting or hauled-out on rock piles, ledges, sand bars, and jetties exposed during low tide around the Chatham shoals from the North Beach breakthrough to South Beach and Monomoy.

They’re also found resting on isolated beaches, in marshes, and on floating docks at all tide stages.

The best time to see seals is within 2 hours of low tide on a sunny midday afternoon. Because seals cannot move well on land, during high tide they position themselves over submerged jetties.

When the tide goes out they are left exposed, sitting on the jetty basking in the sun. If left undisturbed, they will stay on the rocks until the tide comes in again. If conditions are right, approximately 1,500 to 2,000 seals can be seen in the afternoons at Monomoy Island.

There are several local companies offering exciting seal tours along the beautiful Chatham Harbor waterways between North Beach, Chatham Light, and the Break.

baseball The Chatham Anglers begin a new chapter this season under the direction of storied former-college coach Tom Holliday. Holliday brings experience from more than three decades of coaching at schools including Oklahoma State, North Carolina State, Auburn and Texas. Since leaving the dugout, Holliday has spent time in the broadcast booth for Fox and OSU covering college baseball. His knowledge and contacts will bring a new look to the 2018 Anglers.

The 44-game, 10-week season opens with a home game at Veterans Field on June 12th, with the playoffs concluding by mid-August.

The Anglers are sponsored by the 800-plus members of the Chatham Athletic Association, an organization which also supports a wide range of athletic, youth and community activities.

Players like Kris Bryant, Evan Longoria, Matt Harvey, Mike Lowell, Andrew Miller, Jason Bay, recent Hall of Fame inductee and Boston native Jeff Bagwell, and Thurman Munson highlight the more than 140 young men who played in Chatham before moving on to the Major Leagues, which last year featured more than 270 Cape League alumni!

To play in the Cape League, the nation’s top summer collegiate program, a prospect must be enrolled in a twoor four-year college and have athletic eligibility remaining.

Each player is responsible for his own living expenses, with the CAA locating housing among local families for them. If you’re interested in housing an Anglers player, please contact Sherie Bush at sbush@sbushlaw.com

The delightful physical characteristics of Chatham, such as the beaches, marsh and wetlands, and meadows, have long been known to our residents and summer visitors.

Preservation of these resources is a benefit to our economy, our fisheries, wildlife and flora, a fact now recognized to a greater extent in the past few years by federal, state and local authorities. Chatham is fortunate in having, in addition to the town Conservation Commission, a privately operated organization in the Chatham Conservation Foundation, Inc., (104 Crowell Road, Chatham, MA 02633), dedicated to the preservation of these valued areas. The Foundation, chartered in 1962, is in the hands of eighteen trustees, including officers and executive committee, all without salary. Call 508-945-4084 for information, Tuesday and Thursday from 9 am – 1 pm.

58

Many gifts of wetlands and marshlands have been donated to this organization and others obtained by purchase. To date, more than 588 acres have been put into conservation by the Foundation so they may be enjoyed by our residents and visitors. Please refer to the map on the inside back cover for the starting points of three trails described on pages 47 and 48.

A highlight of the Foundation’s work in the field of education is its publication A Beachcomber’s Botany, with illustrations by Marcia Gaylord Norman and text by Loren C. Petry. It is a valuable guide to the interesting plant life in the marshes, along the shore, and the upland. You will find a copy of the publication in the public libraries throughout Cape Cod.

CHATHAM’S OLD GRIST MILL The Mill is located near Chase Park, off Shattuck place, just a short walk from the downtown Main Street. Built by Colonel Benjamin Godfrey in 1797, the Mill remains almost exactly as it was when it was grinding corn for early Chatham residents. It is a prime example of a post-Revolutionary War commercial venture that served the community for more than one-hundred years.

The Mill originally located overlooking Mill Pond was donated to the Town of Chatham

by Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Crocker and moved to its present location in 1956. The Mill was restored for the 300th anniversary of the Town of Chatham in 2012. Today thousands of visitors visit the Mill during the summer season and walk in the steps of many who used the Mill to supply them with corn meal

and local gossip. Learn the variety of common phrases that started at the grist mills.

The Mill will be open for History Weekend, June 15 – 17, 2018 and depending on weather conditions it will be grinding corn The Mill will open for the season July 2 until Friday, August 31, 2018. During that time the Mill will be open Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm.

Tours may be cancelled due to rain or severe weather conditions.

The Mill will be open for the Festival of the Arts on August 17 through 19, 2018. The Mill will be open each day from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and weather permitting will be grinding corn on Saturday, August 18, 2018.

Throughout the season a variety of activities related to the Mill will be available for children and adults.

Chatham Fish Pier PHOTO COURTESY OF ROBIN LIT WIN

CHATHAM FISH PIER The Chatham Fish Pier, at the corner of Shore Road and Barcliff Avenue on Aunt Lydia’s Cove, is a constant source of interest to our summer visitors. The members of the fishing fleet make their run each suitable day to the fishing grounds from 3 to 100 miles off Chatham. Their catch consists of haddock, cod, flounder, lobster, pollack, dogfish and halibut. The fresh fish is placed in ice and transported in refrigerated trucks to the New York, Boston, New Bedford, and local markets, arriving less than 24 hours from the time it is taken from the ocean. The boats start returning to the pier shortly after noon, depending upon the tide. You may watch from the visitors’ balcony — be sure to bring your camera. Please observe local traffic and parking regulations while at the Fish Pier. Parking in upper lot for visitors, lower lot by permit only.

CCCHFA’s Pier Host Program: Learn about the maritime history of Chatham while having a fisherman show you the ropes at the 62

Chatham Fish Pier. On select days, there will be a Pier Host available to tell visitors about an industry that is vital to the Cape’s past, present, and future. For a schedule, please visit www.ccchfa.org/programs/pier.htm FISHERMAN’S MONUMENT Several years ago, a community committee was formed to recognize the Chatham fishing industry in our town. It was decided to plan and erect a monument to this unique industry at the Chatham Fish Pier.

From an international competition with about 100 entrants, the committee narrowed the selection to a final three, which were submitted to our fishing community for a final selection.

The winning choice was designed by Sig Purwin — an artist and sculptor from Woods Hole —and dedicated in June 1992. The monument, entitled “The Provider,” features a strong hand pulling a fishing net from the sea with many fish and shellfish indigenous to Chatham caught in the net.

MAYO HOUSE The Josiah Mayo House located at 540 Main Street is an excellent example of life on Main Street in the 1800’s. It was built between 1818 and 1820 by Josiah Mayo, a Blacksmith by trade, who was Postmaster in Chatham for 40 years, Treasurer for 27 years and Selectman for two years. The house was occupied by members of the family until 1938. In 1974 it was purchased by Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank, and two years later it became the property of the Chatham Conservation Foundation. The CCF has restored the house.

Many local residents and visitors tour the Mayo House each summer.

The Mayo House will be open three days a week for the 2018 season from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. during the summer months. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer docent, please contact Edith Tuxbury at 508-945-3721 or the Chatham Conservation Foundation office at 508-945-4084.

ATWOOD HOUSE & MUSEUM Owned and operated by the Chatham Historical Society, the Atwood House & Museum is located at 347 Stage Harbor Road.

The original part of the museum is a house built in the 1750’s by sea Captain Joseph Atwood when he was a subject of George II of England. Because the old house was occupied by the Atwood family until 1923, then acquired by the Historical Society in 1925, it has remained unchanged since the time it was built. The house therefore provides an excellent view into the way of life during the 18th and 19th centuries in New England. www.chathaminfo.com

Over time, several wings were added to the original structure, with the latest expansion constructed between 2003-2005 to house more of the Historical Society collections. Today there are eleven spacious galleries featuring art, artifacts and decorative arts portraying life on Cape Cod since the 17th century.

New for 2018 is “Double-Take: Historical & Current Panoramic Photographs of Chatham.” The exhibition features panoramic images of various locations and landscapes taken in the early 1900s and pairs them with photographs of the same places today. Visitors can view vistas like the Iconic Twin Lights of the past next to the lighthouse today; Stage Harbor then and now; Mill Pond and more.

The exhibit is curated and sponsored by the Atwood’s Archivist Jean Young and her husband, photographer Andrew Young.

Refreshed exhibits are on display in the Main Hall. “Chatham in the Military,” sponsored

by The Kemper Family Foundations, looks at the lives, traditions and artifacts of Cape Codders who fought for freedom since colonial times, through the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and World War I. “Windows Into Time – Clothing & Artifacts” sponsored by the Max & Victoria Dreyfus Foundation offers snapshots of Chatham’s history from the 17th century through the early 20th century.

One highlight of the museum is the mural barn that houses the nationally known portraits of 130 townspeople painted by Alice Stallknecht between 1932 - 1945.

Capturing the life and struggles of local residents during that period, a docent relates many fascinating stories about those portrayed. Another gallery is devoted to the history of fishing in the Chatham area and traces the evolution of the fishing industry on Cape Cod through objects, paintings, and photographs. Also on display is a lifesized replica of the cabin of the CG 36500, the Coast Guard lifeboat that rescued 32 63

Of special interest to many are displays on cranberry growing, salt works and other trades. On the grounds is the Nickerson North Beach Camp built in 1947 that was moved, with all of the contents intact, to save it from being washed into the sea as the beach eroded, and the working lighthouse lantern room, of one of Chatham’s last twin lights, with its original Fresnel lens.

Hundreds of interesting antiques are displayed in the 17 display rooms, providing something for all art lovers, history buffs, students and friends of Chatham and Cape Cod, no matter what their age. Although a complete visit requires about two hours, those with less time can enjoy selected sections of the museum. There is also a book and gift shop, stocked with items relating to the museums’ collections.

As stewards of the region’s history and culture, the Chatham Historical Society strives to educate, inform and enlighten the public and bring enthusiasm to the Cape Cod community. The Atwood House & Museum 64

RAILROAD MUSEUM It is located in the old Chatham Railroad Company station on Depot Road, and has parking space at the door. As listed in the National Register of Historical Places, this building is more than 100 years old and on its original site. It served the town for over fifty years from 1887 to 1937. In 1951, Mrs. Jacob Cox of Cleveland, Ohio, and Chatham purchased the structure and land as a gift to our town. It was restored as a “country depot” and a museum in 1960.

From mid-June to mid-September it is open 10 am to 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday.

Its experienced group of volunteers from all over Cape Cod have welcomed more than 100,000 visitors since the first season.

Starting with relics of the first commercial railroad in the U.S. in 1826, the exhibits grow each year and include hundreds of items of historical significance in the railroad field, plus models and objects that never fail to interest the visitors.

a major new exhibit entitled “Chatham Heard Round The World” in its Wireless History gallery, and a refreshed Antenna Field Trail gallery, all located within the Marconi-RCA National Register Historic district at 847 Orleans Road (Route 28) in North Chatham across from Ryder’s Cove.

The Wireless Today gallery offers exhibits such as “Tubes To Transistors” chronicling the technology behind the digital age, evolution of the cell phone from bulky bag phones to today’s smart phones, and a flight simulator for personal drones. Discover the surprising connection between the updated “Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) of WWII” and the “Drones” exhibits! These all join popular exhibits about locating Great White sharks via satellite and live tracking of ships at sea off Cape Cod. Smartphone-based UniGuide audio tours enhance the visitor’s experience.

The Wireless History gallery’s (literally) big new exhibit celebrates the powerful RCA radio transmitting station formerly located in South Chatham on the shores of Nantucket Sound. Today the site is the Forest Beach Conservation Area, but beginning in 1948 it hosted RCA’s most modern transmitting 66

facility. Paired with the receiving station in North Chatham, it made Chatham Radio (call sign WCC) the largest ship-to-shore station in the United States, renowned among mariners of all nations. The exhibit’s centerpiece is one of the station’s seventeen large RCA model SSB T-3 twenty kiloWatt transmitters, refurbished to its original appearance. Visitors experience firsthand how a radio operator touching a Morse code key in Chatham could be heard by his counterparts aboard ships sailing the seven seas, and learn about the talented and skilled people who conceived, built and operated the transmitting station.

Visitors also explore the many other interactive exhibits, highlight videos of Guglielmo Marconi’s life, the role of WCC in world events, the ship-to-shore communication process with the actual shipboard radio from the hospital ship SS Hope, artifacts from important periods in WCC’s history and the opportunity to view the preserved 1914 station campus. In addition to relaying commercial and personal messages to ships, WCC communicated with pioneer aviators including Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart and Howard Hughes.

Chatham Radio played a significant role in defeating the Germans during the World War II Battle of the Atlantic by intercepting Enigma-encrypted wireless messages between Germany’s headquarters and its ships at sea. “Station C” (its U.S. Navy designation) passed these intercepts on to Washington, D.C., for decoding. And as the control station for the East Coast directionfinding network, Station C directed the search for telltale radio signals that allowed enemy vessels to be located and tracked.

An authentic Enigma cipher machine is displayed, and working electronic simulators allow visitors to try their hand at encryption.

12th century labyrinth inlaid on the floor of Chartres Cathedral in France. Made out of cut and sealed earth-toned pavers, the labyrinth is wheelchair accessible and a permanent legacy to the Town of Chatham.

It is surrounded by green grass, scrub pines and native landscaping. Visitors are invited to walk the labyrinth or sit for a while in meditation or contemplation.

The museum’s third gallery is truly “open space” and open year-round. This is the Antenna Field Trail, a winding path through the flora and fauna of Cape Cod with interpretive signs identifying and describing the station’s antennas. Some of the antennas are working scaled replicas of the originals, now actively used for communication with amateur radio operators around the world.

The Labyrinth is open to the public during regular park hours.

The museum and Museum Shop are open most weekends during the Spring and Fall, with regular hours for the 2018 Summer season beginning during Chatham History Weekend, June 15-17. A weekly Summer Speaker Series provides interpretation and context for the museum’s exhibits, and the Center offers engaging STEM classes for youth year-round.

dining Recognized as home to one of Cape Cod’s most prolific fishing fleets, Chatham is well known for its fresh fish and seafood. While many restaurants feature the “catch of the day” and other local favorites, there is no lack of other fare, including Italian, French, Continental, Asian and, of course, good old traditional American.

Dining in most establishments is casual; and while shoes and shirts are always required, the

need for a jacket and tie is rare. Most restaurants do not accept reservations in season, but they generally do honor major credit cards.

On page 84, you will find a list of dining establishments in the Chatham area. The information presented is designed to serve as a guide only; and while we have made every attempt to verify the facts, you should always check with the individual establishments regarding reservations and other details.
