Lots of great scenery options already listed. For some historical things to see:
Gettysburg. I've been four times and want to go again.
Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village Only spent a day at the museum. Want to go back to spend a few more seeing everything else.
Springfield IL Lincoln Home NHS and other sites associated with Lincoln. Don't miss the Ghosts of the Library at the Lincoln Presidential Library A little out of the way, but I've made the detour twice to visit here.
Of course one could spend weeks just in Washington DC. Whether your interest is history, science, botany, the post office, etc. etc. etc., you'll find things to see here that will take up hours of exploration. Next time I go, it will be for at least a week.
Mystic Seaport Only once many moons ago.
Colonial Williamsburg. Never been, but on my list.
Of course your final destination of Maine should include Acadia NP. Been twice many years ago. We'll return when we make a trip like you are proposing.
So you can decide if 8-10 weeks is enough. I mean when I add it up, I've spent two years exploring Nevada, three years exploring Utah, a year each exploring California, Oregon and Washington. So much to see and so little time . . .
