I love the outer banks with aching passion but it's been a while since I've been there and most of the things that matter to me there probably wouldn't be of much interest. :)
There is a little aviation museum there, but if you go all the way out to the islands just to go up Kill Devil Hill you might feel a bit let down. If you are interested in kites or hang-gliding, go to Jockey's Ridge while you're there. (It's also nice just to look at, but - hang gliding school!)
There's a couple little museums down the islands towards Ocracoke but again, long drive for not much return, unless you really, really like gingerbread. (No, that's not a museum, that's a bakery, and that IS why we drive down there.) And some wild horses.
For just plain driving notes, driving through Kentucky is usually scenic IMO.
There's some more space stuff in Huntsville, Alabama, where we got sent on field trips. Chattanooga has a very nice aquarium. Knoxville (well, Oak Ridge) has nuclear power and the dead body farm but I'm not sure if visitors are allowed to see those.
If you go to Memphis, you can meet the woman thrown out of her home to make a civil rights museum...
