If one has wanderlust and would like to see something offbeat, then the Roswell International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico is right up your alley.
I visited the museum three years ago and found it interesting and entertaining (where else can one pose for a photo with a full-sized Gort?).

The Travel has posted an article on the museum.
They begin it with:
One fateful day in 1947 first contact was made. A UFO crashed in Roswell, the little green (or are they gray?) men were captured, the flying saucer was stored in secret in Area 51 in Nevada. Then in 1996, the aliens returned obliterated all the major cities, but the world was ultimately saved on Independence Day by Will Smith at his coolest and some 1990s computer virus.
But what really happened in Roswell? Today one can go there and sleuth out its secrets, perhaps one of its main attractions is the International UFO Museum and Research Center and Gift Shop as well as guided tours of the various points of interest.

On the first week in July, Roswell holds their annual UFO Festival, now called Alien Fest. It is a lot of fun, despite having to do a lot of walking to take in everything.

There's plenty of motels and RV parks in Roswell for overnighters.
