Johnny Morris’ Wonders of Wildlife Museum and Aquarium has won USA Today’s contest for 2017’s Best New Attraction.

History, art and aerospace buffs often flock to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to tour the many museums of the Smithsonian. What's potentially lacking, we must say, is a destination for those that want to learn more about the outdoors. Yes, there are a number of hunter-friendly institutions sprinkled across the nation—like the NRA Whittington Center—but we're still lacking a be-all, end-all museum dedicated to our passion. That will change in 2016, with the upcoming opening of the new Johnny Morris Wildlife National Museum and Aquarium.

NASCAR's Austin Dillon—driver of the patriotically-themed No. 3 car—has been released from the hospital following a crash in Sunday's Coke Zero 400.

With summer ending, many families are planning short vacations or day trips to visit attractions not far from home. It so happens there are some fine museums of particular interest to hunters, and since they are scattered widely throughout the U.S., there should be at least one within driving distance.

Display will include rare Winchester Model 1886 takedown, Savage Model 1899 Rifle and more.
