Students in Russ Crawford's HIST 2771 Digital History class created a virtual museum to house images of objects that Ada resident Lee Crouse has collected over the years. Crouse began acquiring his materials during a 1995 class reunion. According to Crouse, "How this come about, I don't really know... It just kept growing. There's not hardly a week goes by that we don't find something. It's fun, and it just grows. You don't know what's out there. Some people say 'You got everything?'" Crouse answered, "Apparently not."
