About H.H. Bennett Studio

Photographer Henry Hamilton Bennett moved into the current studio in Wisconsin Dells in 1875. It has been in continuous operation ever since and is believed to be the oldest operating photography studio in the United States. Bennett's family ran the business until 1998 when they donated the property to the Wisconsin Historical Society. The studio houses many of Bennett's original photographs, glass plate negatives, photography inventions, cameras and equipment.
