You are on to something! I do this too.
Here's what comes to mind...
* Mutter Museum in Philly (http://muttermuseum.org/ http://muttermuseum.org/) Awesome victorian medical curiosities
* Museum of Questionable medical devices in St Paul (http://www.museumofquackery.com/ http://www.museumofquackery.com/). Exactly what the name implies. Really interesting for skeptics.
* Wagner Free Institute (http://www.wagnerfreeinstitute.org/ http://www.wagnerfreeinstitute.org/), in Philly. This is victorian-era science museum focusing on natural history. Interesting selection of specimens and a magnificently preserved victorian lecture hall.
* Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto (http://batashoemuseum.ca/ http://batashoemuseum.ca/). Shoes are actually interesting in historical context!
* Johnstown Flood Museum (https://www.jaha.org/attractions/johnstown-flood-museum/ https://www.jaha.org/attractions/johnstown-flood-museum/) This is in western PA, about 1.5 hours east of Pittsburgh. Dedicated mostly to the flood of 1889 which shaped the history of this town, as well as the flood of 1977.
* National Electronics Museum (https://www.nationalelectronicsmuseum.org/ https://www.nationalelectronicsmuseum.org/) This is a short distance from the BWI airport.
