North Carolina is blessed with many museums spread across the state. Here are some interesting ones you may not be that familiar with. And if these aren't convenient for you, they may give you ideas for finding ones in your area.
328 Mosley Avenue, Littleton, NC
631-220-1231
This is one of the most unusual museums I came across. By its own description, it is "dedicated to the study and display of creatures and phenomena not recognized by traditional science." This includes Bigfoot, haunted dolls, UFO sightings, ghost hunting, etc. The museum is normally open 1-7 pm, Monday-Sunday.
156 NW Broad Street
Southern Pines, NC

Oddly enough, this museum is housed in a Christian Bookstore, stating that its purpose is to emphasize the creation account from Genesis. It has around 200 displays of about every stuffed animal from North Carolina that is legal for them to have. There's also a section of antique tools. In fact, its name is "Taxidermy Hall of Fame of NC/Antique Tool/Creation Museum." With such a variety, most people should be able to find something of interest.
7089 Peele Road, Bailey, NC
252-235-4165
This is the oldest museum in America dedicated to the plight of the country doctor of bygone eras. It has over 5,000 artifacts and numerous books on the subject. Visitors come away with a much better idea of what historical health care was like and how taxing being a country doctor could be.
