www.TravelIowa.com is Iowa's website for travel information. They will also send you a large paperback booklet of interesting places to visit and a state road map free for the asking.
There's also a lot of interesting places to stop along your way. Some of my favorites are:
The Henry Ford Museum and Grrenfield village Museum in Dearborn Michigan. There are hugh and great. It's hard to see them both in one day. There's thousands of cars, many locomotives and some planes. Henry Ford liked farming too, so there's a lot of farm equipment displays grouped in different time periods, and displays of household living in different time periods. Both you and your wife will like these. I think they are better than the equivalent Smithsonian Museums in Washington D.C.
Downtown Chigaco has the Field Museum of Natural History, a great art Museum, Shed's Aquarium, a Planitarium, the Navy peer, the observation deck at the top of the Sears tower and great food.
A little south of downtown Chicago is a great Science and Industry Museum. It has a captured WW@ German U-Boat and and undergroung coal mine exhibit. Allow at least a half day to see this one.
In Wisconsin someone else already mentioned "The House on the Rock". Allow a half day to see it.
Moline, Illinios has some John Deere Museums. You can check if tours are available through Deere's Waterloo, Dubuque or Moline factories.
If you want to circle back on a different route you can go through St. Louis Mo, and Memphis, Tn. If you like country music Nashville is a great stop. Chattanooga, TN has the Lookout Mountain battlefield with an outstanding view of the city and surounding mountians. It also has a very good knife and gun museumand a great railroad museum. The Stones River Battlefield and Franklin Battle field are between Nashville and Chattanooga. Chickamauga battlefield is nearby too.
Dayton, Ohio has the U.S. Air force Museum that is huge. Wright-Patterson is a major development and testing center for the AF. They have almost every plane the AF has used on display, and many captured enemy planes too: Folkers, Zeros, Messerschmitt ME109 and ME262, MIGs etc. There are many experimental planes: X-1, X-15, XB-70 Valkryie, B-1A, Mercury, Gemini, and Appollo spacecraft, and a large outdoor missle display. It's hard to see it all in one day.
Most states hve websites for travel information. There should be a lot to see in Pansylvania and Virginia too.
