Chatham, a lovely town set in the midst of Ontario's farming community on the Thames River, has a rich history dating back to Chief Tecumseh's time and the War of 1812. Fergie Jenkins, the first Canadian inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and Shae-Lynn Bourne, World Champion Ice-Dance skater, were both born and raised in Chatham.

Chatham offers a wide range of events including multicultural celebrations, agricultural fairs, theatre and outdoor recreations such as water sports, hiking, fishing, golf and excellent bird watching. Wild Zone Adventures offer year-round indoor amusements with roller coaster rides, mini-golf, bowling and lots more. Thrill to the exciting events at the Tartan Sertoma Highland Games in mid-July. Share Chatham's cultural history during the Festival of Nations early in July and Heritage Days the first weekend in October.

Chatham accommodations range from full service hotels to cozy bed and breakfasts.
