Additional Description: In Tribute to Oliver and Jean Dyer Reese. Oliver W. Reese and Jean Dyer Reese were instrumental in preserving the history and integrity of Wisconsin Dells for many decades. Oliver learned photography and photo conservation from H.H. Bennett’s daughters Miriam Bennett and Ruth Bennett Dyer. Oliver and Jean operated the H.H. Bennett Studio until 1999, when they gave the studio and all Bennett’s works and equipment to the Wisconsin Historical Society. Jean, granddaughter of H.H. Bennett, was instrumental in chronicling the history of the Dells and preserving this studio. Oliver envisioned the Dells as a welcoming place for all visitors. He spearheaded the successful effort to re-create the Dells train depot.
