The H.H. Bennett Studio

 

The story of Bennett, the photographer who helped make the Wisconsin Dells an international tourist destination. The show uses the SHSW's restoration of the Bennett studio and creation of an adjoining museum in Wisconsin Dells as the framework for telling the photographer's tale. Viewers learn how the massive distribution of Bennett's stereo photos and postcards in the late 19th century made the Dells scenery famous across the country and around the world.
