Stern, Henry J.

The Henry J. Stern Collection documents the history of Opelika and Lee County, Alabama, through subject files assembled by Henry Julius Stern (1931 to 2014), a Holocaust survivor, longtime executive of the Opelika Chamber of Commerce, and the man many residents called "Mr. Opelika." The collection consists of 29 subject folders of mixed media in three boxes, with particular depth on Pepperell Manufacturing Company and the Pepperell mill village.
