From the April 7-13 American Profile Magazine "National Museums: Chronicling the American Experience" by Marti Attoun.
Perhaps a good list of places to check out on your travels (well, if you can affort our super-expensive gasoline here in the Midwest.
"Thousands of museums dot the United States-- chronicling, conserving and commemorating the nation's artistic, cultural, historical and scientific legacy. Here are 10 museums that provide a glimpse into the American experience."
Looking at the list, I haven't been to ANY of them. I must be Un-American.
NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL CENTER AND HALL OF FAME-- BONNER SPRINGS, KANSAS
Such items as a walking plow used by President Harry S. Truman, the first Future Farmers of America uniform and a 1919 Waterloo Boy N, considered the original two-cylinder John Deere tractor. (I have a John Deere yard tractor for my agricultural, well, grass cutting needs.)
The 150-acre complex also has the National Poultry Museum, a blacksmit shop, general store and restored farmhouse. It's all about the story of America's farming heritage.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
