About Chatham

Tucked into the heart of Alger County along M-94, Chatham offers a quiet rural setting about fifteen miles southwest of Munising. The village grew out of the Upper Peninsula’s lumber and rail boom in the late 1890s, though today it revolves around small-town life, local farming, and community events like the Alger County Fair. It is a peaceful home base for anyone who loves easy access to Northwoods trails, nearby waterfalls, and Lake Superior.
