A local mother and daughter explore five hidden areas around Chatham dressed in classic and colorful clothes from Sara Campbell, Chatham Clothing Bar, Lily Pulitzer, The Trading Company and If the Shoe Fits
Library at Chatham Bars Inn
Amidst the bustle of the grand lobby of Chatham Bars Inn, nestled off the elegant main seating area, is a cozy and charming library. With a decorative fireplace, floor-to-ceiling books and plenty of board games, this nook is ideal for a quiet retreat during your visit to this venerable resort. You can even bring your coffee, tea, cocktail or glass of wine—served in the adjacent South Lounge—with you as you snuggle up with a good book on a wintery afternoon.
On Jillian: Tonet two-piece dress plisse skirt and sweater with paillettes, Columbo Cashmere/silk accordion pleated scarf, Fabiani Filippi Taupe cross body leather bag with Monili silver trim and Brunello Cucinelli mixed metal bracelet.
On Lori: Loro Piana Buff Cashmere basket weave sweater, Loro Piana Paper Bag Cashmere pant, Loro Piana cream double-faced Cashmere wrap with fringe and Fabiani Filippi gray satchel with Monili silver trim.

Packet Wharf
Dotted with old sea captains’ homes, Water Street runs from Mill Pond to the Atlantic Ocean, where it was once an important part of the commercial center of Chatham. In the 1800s, this now-quiet Town Landing was abuzz with Boston-bound packet ships unloading both passengers and cargo at wharves that jutted into the harbor. It’s best to get here on foot, as there is limited parking on this street.
On Lori: Cashmere/wool blend ribbed sleeve open cardigan paired with essential Sheri Pants.
On Jillian: Short sleeve rouched turtleneck with a colorful tweed skirt and resin chainlink statement necklace.
Outfits are available at: Sara Campbell

Enchanting Courtyard
Tucked between Main Street’s Lily Pulitzer store and the Snowy Owl Espresso Bar, this shaded and charming courtyard is a perfect place to stop and enjoy a cappuccino in the middle of a busy mother-daughter shopping day. Relax at one of the many tables or unwind on one of the benches set amongst trees and greenery.
On Lori: Elsa silk blouse in true navy with Kelly high-rise skinny ankle pant in Zanzibar zoo and Malindi clutch in gold metallic.
Featured bracelets from Lilly Pulitzer’s jewelry collection.

Godfrey Windmill
Originally located on Mill Hill east of Atwood Street (now Stage Harbor Road), this circa 1797 wind-powered grist mill, built by Colonel Benjamin Godfrey, was moved in the mid-1950s to the newly designated Chase Park, a small and secluded park off Cross Street that was donated by Avis Chase. Over the years, the Godfrey Windmill has undergone significant renovations that were ultimately completed in 2012, in time to celebrate Chatham’s tri-centennial. Open seasonally for tours and corn-grinding demonstrations, the windmill is a wonderful year-round spot for a dog walk or a stroll with friends and family.
On Jillian: Ost camo jacket, Ost turtleneck, Roxy skirt and Tey-Art belt
On Lori: Ost reversible jacket, Ost turtleneck, Tey-Art belt, Not Your Daughters white jeans and Joy Susan hobo bag

Little Mill Pond
This saltwater pond, located just south of Main Street and west of School Street, allows access to Nantucket Sound via Stage Harbor, making it a popular location for residents of nearby Mill Pond Road, Chase Street and other local neighborhoods to moor their boats.
