Things to see on the way to Yellowstone
Well I guess Custer State Park would be more accurate, but Yellowstone is the final destination. Leaving Dayton Ohio this Friday evening and hoping to make Davenport Iowa before I stop for the night....

There are numerous Lewis & Clark historic sites - several (depending on your route), going N and W above Omaha to South Dakota. Some markers and nice small museums about their expedition, if you like history.
Google theNational Park Service's L&C National Historic Trail.
The best guide is "Along the Trail with Lewis & Clark" by Barbara Fifer. Printed a while back but still relevant, obviously. It tells where to find such sites by using modern roads.
Also shows state parks, campgrounds, etc. There is a Lewis & Clark State Park in Onawa, Iowa with waterfront camping near where they camped, and a replica keelboat. In Chamberlain, SD, along their route, you can camp right on the mighty Missouri at American Creek Campground.
