The Colonel Benjamin Stephenson House is an important landmark that links the early history of Edwardsville to the earliest days of the Illinois Territory circa 1809 and the establishment of Edwardsville as the center of government and commerce. It is a connection between Territorial Governer Ninian Edwards, Colonel Benjamin Stephenson and the State of Illinois.

Built in 1820, this two-story Federal style brick home is an excellent example of architecture from this early period. Each of the four rooms has original millwork, and two of the original mantels designed in the Adams style remain. The home was built with native material by skilled local craftsmen. The Colonel Benjamin Stephenson House is located at 409 South Buchanan in Edwardsville.

General Admission includes guided tours.

Hudson Jewelers will offer special discounts on everything in the store, prizes, and a designer trunk show at their open house. A portion of all proceeds will benefit Allison's Friends of Hope & Anderson Hospital's Breast Diagnostic Center.
