The Crawford Auto-Aviation Collection brings the history of transportation alive through the over 170 antique automobiles, 21 non-car transportation artifacts (motorcycles, bicycles, and boats), 12 aircraft, and 3 carriages and sleighs.

Volunteers keep the Crawford’s historic auto collection rolling
The Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum began as a personal crusade to save historical vehicles from the crusher. Today part of the collection is on display in University Circle while dozens of volunteers maintain the rest at a facility in Summit County. They’re making old cars new again while also making memories.
