This studio gives the real information on how the Dells was made famous by H. H. Bennett, a photgrapher. Because of his photos people from Chicago, etc.started coming to the Dells. You can see actual pictures of the first tourists to the Dells. Fascinating and very unique.

This Historic Museum shows the beautiful photos and equipment of the photographer who put the Dells on the map starting back in 1865. He loved the Wisconsin River (the first waterpark) and the rock formations and wanted the rest of the world to see it. He promoted the dells of the Wisconsin River through his photos. We wouldn't be here... More

On several previous visits, I had simply wandered into the gift shop but never paid the $7 admission to visit the historic studio and museum behind it. I corrected that mistake my last visit and was very glad. Mr. Bennett was a longtime photographer in the Dells, who helped promote early tourism through his photos. His family has saved his... More

The H. H. Bennett studio museum is a small museum filled with Mr. Bennett's beautiful black and white photographs of breathtaking views of the Dells, as well as history and photos of the Ho-Chunk indians, who are native to this region.

With so many awful T Shirt shops in the downtown Dells district, this store is like a breath of fresh air with so much class and atmosphere and revelence that you will be transported back in time. And oh, did I mention that for a mere 7 bucks that there is a terrific museum all about the life and career... More
