According to the American Association of Museums (AAM), there are an estimated 17,500 museums (of all types) in the U.S. The AAM says they only know of two attempts to count U.S. museums and this number is from the most recent.

The AAM membership directory lists 389 historic home/site members.The directory lists 1,254 history museum members. It is unknown how many, if any, of those may be duplicated in both lists.
