Honestly, if you really want to see "Small Town USA", I would say the best thing to do would be to find an area where there is a lot of close contact between different sub-cultures, fly into a central location and just drive around the region. Five days can cover a lot of ground, especially if you choose a region like where I live (outside Baltimore) that has urban and rural, small town and big city, north and south, Atlantic-coastal and Appalachia all within reasonably close distance, plus major attractions (Washington, several Civil War battlefields, etc.) within driving distance.
