Chatham is an idyllic gem of a town with a quaint, walkable downtown and a warm, welcoming community. Locals often refer to the area as “The Chathams,” as it encompasses Chatham Borough, Chatham Township, and Green Village, a hamlet within the township. This is the kind of place where the local drugstore, Liberty Drug and Surgical, has an ice cream counter that can whip up an old-fashioned egg cream or malt while you wait for your prescription. As one of the last compounding pharmacies still in business, Liberty Drug will even compound pet prescriptions — the kind of personalized service that has earned the loyalty of their customers since 1965. The borough has a village green with a gazebo in the middle that hosts concert throughout the summer and there’s also the very active Chatham Newcomers and Social Club, which welcomes all and hosts book clubs, playgroups, and game nights throughout the year.
