The Stuart-Utz-Teson House began in 1782 as a one-room log cabin and later became a two-story dog-trot house. Auguste Chouteau purchased it in 1804, and after it was expanded in the early 1820's it was owned by Alexander Stuart, grandfather of Gen. J.E.B. Stuart, until 1832, when Julius Utz bought it. Maj. James Utz, who grew up there, was hanged as a Confederate spy in 1864. Five generations of the Utz family lived in the home until it was sold in 1902 to Gregorie Teson, whose family occupied it until the early 1990's. In Sept. 2003, the house was moved from its original location at 615 Utz Lane to its present site.
