Hill Aerospace Museum, Hill AFB, Ogden, Utah. The larger aircraft are outside, but the fighter galleries are packed to the walls with amazingly restored aircraft.

Main hangars:

USAF Missile Museum, Cape Canaveral, Florida. A lot of outdoor dispalys of numerous missiles. Forty years in the Florida weather ahs *not* been good to many of these...

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=28.444091,-80.570812&spn=0.002415,0.004699&z=18
 
New England Air Museum, Windsor Locks, CT. About half inside, holf outside. Some years ago the museum got *trashed* by a tornado; they've done a good job of getting back on their feet.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=41.947877,-72.691281&spn=0.002043,0.004699&z=18
 
Belleview Park, Englewood, CO. Not a museum per se, just a Mace missile on some poles in a public park...

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=39.624326,-104.99954&spn=0.001058,0.00235&t=h&z=19

Missiel park inside Marshall Space Flight Center, Alabama. Includes a V-2, Saturn 1, a number of other missiles from that general era. Not sure if it is publicly accessible anymore.

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=34.652481,-86.671502&spn=0.00113,0.00235&t=h&z=19

Tennessee Museum of Aviation, Sevierville, TN

Small private museum. Small but nice.

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=35.858248,-83.524139&spn=0.002226,0.004699&t=h&z=18
 
Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, Chantilly, VA. I've not been here yet.

Looks to be under construction...
 
Launch Complex 34, site of the Apollo 1 disaster. Not sure if it's accessible to the general public (don't think so). Very quiet place, seemingly hell and gone away from everywhere.


http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=28.521822,-80.561081&spn=0.001207,0.00235&t=h&z=19
 
Legacy Flight Museum, Rexburg, Idaho. Dinky little private museum with a number of warbirds, all flyable.

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Nice museum, nice missile park. Saturn V kept elsewhere... haven't gotten there.

Cool! I live not to far from there, actually. Don't wanna knock against Pima, but it's hard to beat a nice air-conditioned hangar :)

note on Deutsches Museum Flugwerft Schleißheim
they restore and repaire old Aircraft, for the moment a old He-111
brought by trucks in pieces, after the Restoration they liftoff from the runway
a beautiful poetic
 
A tip: when you get a Google Map image you like and want to link to, simply hit the "link to this page" button just above the top right corner of the map image. It will give you a much shorter link to cut-and-paste.
