Many stories show how these individuals worked to develop the city and worked along the Wisconsin River. Experience the triumphs and hardships of 19th-century people as they made this picturesque area their home.

This tour includes a stop at the grave of H.H. Bennett. Bennett and his family are considered the founding families of the Wisconsin Dells.
