Are you a Wisconsin artist or maker? We would love to see your work!
Opening in late 2027 on Wisconsin’s Capitol Square in Madison, the Wisconsin Historical Society’s new flagship building, the Wisconsin History Center, will take a modern approach to sharing our state’s history and connecting communities.
The first-floor retail store will extend those stories beyond the galleries, offering visitors and the public a unique selection of merchandise inspired by Wisconsin’s people, places, and history. The store will feature custom-made products alongside consignment, wholesale, and collaborative work from artists and makers across the state.
The stories shared at the Wisconsin History Center and throughout Wisconsin are shaped by the communities that have made an impact on our state. We want our retail space to reflect that influence and celebrate the creativity found in communities across Wisconsin.
We’re inviting Wisconsin artists and makers to help us bring those stories to life. Through this open call, we’re seeking original artwork, products, and merchandise that celebrate the people, places, cultures, and stories that make Wisconsin unique.

This week we are taking a look at our items from... The Landmark Project!!!
The Landmark Project is a company dedicated to supporting the long-term health, accessibility, and protection of our public lands. Their commitment to eco-friendly & sustainable materials, recycled fibers, and their use of 100% BCI organic cotton are just a few reasons we LOVE The Lankmark Project at H.H. Bennett Studio!
They are dedicated to liminating unnecessary plastic from their products to reduce their negative environmental impact; turning to unbleached paper and other natural fibers help replace plactic waste.
The Lankmark Project is partnered with organizations working on the front lines of conservation; partners like the National Parks Conservation Association, the National Forest Foundation, Leave No Trace, and the U.S. Forest Service. They work along side these conservation partners through a combination of financial support, product collaborations, and hands-on volunteer efforts. Things like trail work, river cleanups, and public awareness campaigns are just some of the things TLP does!
Through special projects, regional initiatives, and on-the-ground support where it’s needed most; The Landmark Project works close with smaller, community-based organizations because TLP knows they are essential to the health and enjoyment of local landscapes.
Loving what you’re seeing?? Stop into the H.H. Bennett Studio & Museum gift shop today to get some conservation merch, featuring some characters you just might recognize😉
Located in Downtown Wisconsin Dells; open Thursday-Monday from 11-5, we’ll see y’all soon!😉 #wishistory #downtowndells #TheLandmarkProject #conservation #smokeythebear #hootytheowl #woodsytheowl #giveahootdontpollute #OnlyYouCanPreventWildfires ... See MoreSee Less
