Auburn, IN has the Auburn, Cord, Deusenberg Museum, NATMUS, and the Ford V8 Museum, and the Detroit area has numerous auto Museums including Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford Museum. This could easily fill up a week that will put your mind in automotive history overload.
That aviation museum is quite good, and is heavy in WWII aircraft. The docent I walked with was quite knowledgeable, and added to the experience. This museum has a rare SR-71 Blackbird, and it is the sole surviving B model. They also have a Model A powered Pietenpol Air Camper.

Far far away in the UP town of Ishpeming, lies the first motorized tracked snow groomer, made by.... Studebaker.
