The historic 1875 studio in which H. H. Bennett established his legacy offers a window to the life and times of thepioneering photographer. Visitors enter the studio now restored to its appearance in 1908, the year ofBennett'sdeath through the workroom where he manufactured the stereo cards he sold by the thousands. From there,surrounded by original furnishings, tools and hand-operated equipment that kept the manufacturing operation goingyear-round, visitors can view the darkroom where Bennett developed his glass--plate negatives and made his finishedprints. A few steps away is the "operating room," illuminated by a skylight that provided a source ofnatural light forBennett's portrait photography. And while he is most well known for his breathtaking landscape photographs, Bennettproduced many fine portraits in this room, including several of the native Ho-Chunk people with whom he establishedboth personal and professional relationships. Beyond the portrait room stands the sales room, which Bennett stockedwith mounted photographs, stereo cards, and a variety ofsouvenirs and Native American crafts for sale to tourists who- thanks in large part to Bennett - began to discover the beauty of the Wisconsin Dells in growing numbers.

Mid~Continenti$ a not for profit, membenihip society founded in 1959 as the Railway Historical Society of Milwaukee.It began with fOUf members, whose goal was to save a steam locomotive from being scrapped. They failed in that elTonbut were successful in acquiring other pieces ofequipment. In 1961 they moved their small collection to Hillsboro, WIwhere they gave train lides aboard the vintage equipment pulled with a borrowed diesel engine.In 1963 the Society purchased 4.2 miles of track from the Chicago & North Western Rallraad with the help of Chicagobusinessman Elliot R. Donnelley. They moved the operation to their new home in North Freedom, WI and offeredtheir first stearn train rides under their new name, the Mid~ContinentRailway Historical Society, Inc.The new location also offered the Society an enhanced opportunity to create an entire ~etting, reminiscent ofa smalltown, short line railway in the early 1900's. Visitors today enjoy a unique step-back~in-timeexperience in what lhe~'
believe to he an actual historic site; a fitting uibute to the countless hours ofvolunteer effort by Society members, nownumbering more than 600 people.The Society's programs can be divided into three categories, operation, restoration and education. We operate afunctioning railroad museum, complete with demonstration rides aboard a vintage train. We restore authentic railroadequipment and structures for display and exhibition. We educate both our members and the general public through ourtraining programs, exhibits, public presentations and publications.The Society currently employs year~around staff, one person to handle the day to day business affairs, and one whoselVes as an archivist. We also employ seasonal staff, primarily during the summer months, to handle trains operationsand facilities maintenance. Members function as unpaid staff, fulfilling such key roles as curator, educator, membershipcoordinator, and publications editor. The Society aJso retains the services ofa management consultant to help in allareas ofmuseum administration.The Society conduct~ visitor sUlveys each season. We know our primary appeal is to families (two·thirds ofwhich havechildren under the age of 10), senior adults, and school groups (most ofwhich are at the grade school level). Beyond thefonnaJ sUlVeying methods used, we also rely on anecdotal information gained by our train crews and staff fromconversations with visitors. From this we have learned that senior.; like us because the train ride brings back wonderfulmemories for them. But the interest of young families is due to the influence ofa children's book character, Thomas theTank Engine. Eighty percent of the families surveyed said their child's interest in trains prompted their decision to visitMid~Continent.

A granite memorial was erected at the main entrance of the Powder Plant for people to reflect and remember the farmfamilies who gave up their homestead for the production of powder during World War II. The monument has thecaption "The Land Remembers the Footprints of the Past". All the farm family names (90+) and the location of theirfarms are shown on the monument.

Organization and History: The Wisconsin Arts Showcase at the Jura Silvennan Gallery is an artist owned and rungalle'Y featuring highly creative work in all media, both fine art and crafts, by exceptional Wisconsin artists. It is locatedin a historic restored early 1900's cheese warehouse in the village of Spring Green, originally built by the SchmidBrothers Dairy in Richland Center. Local fanners brought their cheeses to the building for sealing in paraffin, storage,and eventual distribution via the railroad along which the building is built. The back section, now a paper making andprint making studio forJura Silverman, housed ice storage in the form of blocks cut from the Wisconsin River and keptin Sawdust through the summer months. HistOlic aspects of the building have been retained the old exhaust fan, theoriginal creaky wood floors with nail gouges from wooden boxes and round cheddar box imprints, an early elevator,rough hewn oak wainscoting which Oliginally formed raised wooden floors in the basement where cheese was stored,and cork insulation.A total of3000 square feet ofspace is devoted to exhibiting work by highly qualified Wisconsin artists. Selected artistsare featured throughout the year along with a continuing display ofwork by over 75 artists. The gallery opened in 1984after a benefit exhibition for American Players Theatre. The public reception was very positive and artists' interest in apermanent exhibition space was extremely strong, so that the spa-ce was expanded from a personal studio into a gallerydedicated to Wisconsin artists. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday dmingJune through December, and goodweather weekends during the winter months,January through ApriL Fridays are added in May.The Mission of the Wisconsin Artists Showcase is to help develop creativity and professionalism among WisconsinArtists and to provide them with the opportunity to display their work and connect with interested people withinWisconsin and from other states who come to visit Taliesin, Amelican Players Theatre, and the House on the Rock, inthe Spring Green area. There is an educationally objective also to provide the public with an opportunity to seeartistic media in depth and variety and in development. Jura Silverman is one ofthe founders of the Fall art tour inwhich she and other area artists demonstrate their art and craft and The Wisconsin Center 101' Book and Paper Arts inMadison to presen.'e the art of papermaking and teach hand papermaking byJura Silverman and the artistic process byother artists in featured exhibitions and by appointment.
