Chatham /ˈtʃætəm/ is a village in Columbia County, New York, United States.

Chatham hosts a variety of attractions, such as the Crandell Theater, which shows many popular movies at very reasonable prices.

The famous stage and film actor Nathan Lane was part of their company at one time.

The Tracy Memorial Village Hall Complex and Union Station are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Chatham has only one traffic light; right turn on red is allowed at that intersection.

[citation needed] Previous to the NYSDOT renovations, cars driving in the traffic circle on Main Street yielded to cars entering the circle, which is an unusual traffic pattern.

The prime contractor was A. Colarusso & Son Inc., based in Hudson, New York.

During construction, NYS Senator Stephen M. Saland showed up briefly to witness progress.

The village was a hub of the New York Central, Boston and Albany, and Rutland railroads, with three wyes and one roundhouse.
