Maine to Yellowstone
It's a long darn trip from here to there. What are the things I should stop and see and enjoy along the way?

Probably meaning US-2, a federal highway that runs east-west across the top of the US below the Canadian border. We took a part of it from North Dakota to Glacier NP last summer.
I see it on the map. Was it noticeably slower than the interstate? I'm interested in seeing the West but not at wagon train speed :B
While much of the part we drove was two lane, it is a fairly straight road since much of Montana is pretty flat. As you approach the Rockies in the western part, the scenery gets more varied. I don't recall the small towns being a traffic issue, just reduced speeds for a mile or so.
As posted before, consider a different return road, depending on where you are planning arriving and leaving the Yellowstone area.
