History of Chatham, Massachusetts


Located in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, Chatham is a beautiful town that is perfect for a summer vacation. Chatham is home to the Chatham Lighthouse, which was established in 1808 by Thomas Jefferson to protect the ships circling the Cape. Main Street Chatham has a provincial feel with its numerous family owned and operated shops and restaurants, including the Captain’s House Inn – great for a gourmet breakfast before you start your busy day.

Chatham is also home to the Cape's second oldest theatre, Monomoy Theatre. Open for fifty-one years, the theatre offers a summer theatre program for college students. Each summer the students perform eight plays with the mentoring help of seasoned visiting artists, actors and directors.

With 260 seats, anywhere you sit offers a great view. Tickets are $17-$22.

This summer, the Monomoy Theatre box office opens on June 16th. This year the students are performing Guys and Dolls, Scapino, The Matchmaker, Doubt, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, The Front Page, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds, and The Merry Wives of Windsor.
