Do a Google search for `_______ tourism' and put the state, town, location or whatever in the blank space and read what the specialists recommend for their area.
I appreciate your reply, and I have done that, however (in the most sincerest internet tone) please read the last sentence of my original post "This forum has lead us to some amazing places over the years, and also saved us from some disappointments had we followed a travel guide."
I will also state an example from a previous trip. We made a stop in Nashville and in doing reading here, or a reply to our post we were informed of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. It was not something we were familiar with, and I doubt would come up on a google search of Nashville or Tennessee. It was an hours drive, but certainly was the highlight of that stop.
We will see/do some of the popular stuff, but we love the less popular less touristy stuff to gain a better understanding of the area we visit and the people living there.
I appreciate all the advice, just thought I should clarify upon my original post.
