History

The museum was founded by William Allen, Ph.D. and Billy Hankins, M.D., along with Ivan Holmes, Ph.D., and Leonard Brand, Ph.D. While Dr. Allen began the collection of gems and minerals, Dr. Hankins developed an impressive freeze-drying technique for preserving animals so amazing you would think they are actually alive.
