In the 1840s, the property was part of a farm owned by C.C. Burton. The three-story building in the center of the park was built in the 1870s and operated as a summer resort hotel until about 1900, when the boys' camp was founded. The state of Vermont purchased the 17-acre Kill Kare property in 1967, primarily to serve as a mainland base to service nearby Burton Island State Park.
The old hotel was renovated in 1982. Park staff live in apartments upstairs, while the first floor includes modern rest room and changing facilities, and two public lobby areas with reproductions of historic photographs of Kill Kare in the old days.
Fees are $2 - $3 per person, age dependent.
