About this Event
Step back in time and discover the fascinating life of H.H. Bennett, the world-renowned landscape photographer who helped put Kilbourn City—now known as Wisconsin Dells—on the map. You’ll learn how Bennett’s curiosity and ingenuity led him to invent the revolutionary “Snapper” camera, capturing the first-ever stop-action photograph, the famous Leap of the Chasm. Follow his journey from his 1843 birth in Canada to his remarkable career as a photographer, carpenter, inventor, and visionary promoter of the Dells. Featuring Bennett’s stunning, artistic images, this presentation invites you to experience the man who made Wisconsin Dells legendary.
