==Museum collection==

The OS Ranch Museum is one of three museums in Post, a small town established by the cereal magnate Charles William "C. W." Post (1854-1914). It is known for its hospitality and its encouragement of tourism. McCrary features works by many Southwestern artists that depict Texas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His museum includes works which he has collected over many years from trips throughout the world, including [[Vatican City]] in [[Rome]], [[Italy]]. In addition to its western works, the museum hosts cases of Faberge eggs, [[textiles]], and [[ivory]] carvings from the [[Far East]]. Although it is now illegal to bring ivory into the United States, McCrary acquired his samples when importation was permitted. In 2002, McCrary helped to bring the Vatican Museums Collection to [[Texas Tech University]] in Lubbock. The collection of medieval frescoes and paintings attracted some 133,000 visitors to the Museum of Texas Tech.
