The Terra Museum of American Art[1] was a fantastic collection of art. I was a co-worker of the former director, so got lots of back story. It's sad to see it gone since Dan Terra's passing.
The Time Museum in Rockford, Illinois[2] was another interesting museum that is no more.
The Mount Horeb Mustard Museum was closed when we visited the town (on a Tuesday)... it's since moved and is apparently still alive near Madison, Wisconsin[3]
Further afield - SF-88 is a former Nike Missile site north of San Francisco. The SALT treaty resulted in the removal of Nike sites in protective rings around many industrial centers in the US. This is the one museum site remaining allowed in the treaty.[4]
