This island, in the Winnipesaukee River, at first a small island, was enlarged with fill from the construction of the railroad and the rebuilding of a mill canal. It was used as a drying place for cloth, and as a vegetable garden before it's purchase in 1865 by Charles E. Tilton. Converted it into an attractive park. The old original Victorian summerhouse and statuary that once graced the island are now gone. A new gazebo was donated as part of the rehabilitation of Tilton Island Park.
