Home school field trip from NC to MN

[homeschoolmom]

Hey there,
I would like any advice y'all might have on educational or historical places between MN and NC. If you know of a good museum, zoo, or park, pretty much any place that we can take a break on the way, stretch our legs and the kids can learn a little something, please let me know.
Thanks for the time and advice in advance.

Welcome aboard the RoadTrip America Forums!

There's plenty of all three throughout America and your route is no different. Some of the highlights within easy distance of your drive (I'm assuming Minneapolis to Charlotte) would include: Circus World, the Field Museum, Tippecanoe Battlefield, Falls of the Ohio State Park, Lincoln's Birthplace and Boyhood Home, Mammoth Cave National Park, Cumberland Gap, and Great Smoky Mountains. My schooling was never this much fun!
