Henry the Stephenson House Mouse
The restoration of the Stephenson House and the ever growing research of Benjamin Stephenson were fascinating projects. The restoration was a once in a lifetime experience for the Edwardsville area. Research of Benjamin Stephenson brought Ben and his family to life for all involved. It needed to be told.
Henry, the Stephenson House mouse, came upon the scene. This little mouse saw all, heard all and knew all the old Stephenson family stories. The rest is history as told in the Intelligencer bi-monthly column "Inside the Stephenson House".
