About Chatham Square

Chatham Square is an historic treasure. There are five buildings that form the square: two churches, a library, a post office, and an old store. Each was built in the mid-1800s with unique architectural features such as Greek Revival columns and original plasterwork. Additionally, the square includes a small graveyard filled with nineteenth-century gravestones. This era was one of growth and change for Chatham Square which is still visible today.
