Forum member clobber recommended www.RoadTrippers.com in response to my question last year about how to know about interesting things to see when traveling.
There is a free version and a subscription version. There is also an app but I find it easiest to use on a laptop. It lets you select various categories/interests and then shows choices along your travel route. You can find interesting museums and attractions along the way, as well as other categories which you are free to specify.
Thanks to this app we had a great visit at the "All Things Oz" museum in Chittenango, NY. The free hour-long personal tour (by appointment) was entertaining and educational.
Also found and visited thanks to RoadTrippers: Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum and It's A Wonderful Life movie museum and the town and bridge that inspired the movie set.
These aren't big places but they were interesting and I doubt we'd have known about them any other way.
This reminded me of a website that I like to check on when traveling: https://www.atlasobscura.com/
It brings up significant, interesting and sometimes quirky points of interest... & is worldwide.
As an example: the Mapparium in Boston was not something we'd know about otherwise https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/mapparium
