What the hell I am posting here (now I swear, oppss). When I read or hear the word “hell”, the implication sounds so bad, very negative, and too dark, would you agree with me? Not many people say this word very often yet we use it as a slang or in swearing.
HELL is a town in Michigan … wait … what??? A town? Yes, you heard it correctly!

There is an unincorporated community, no defined boundaries or population statistics of its own, it is named Hell. It is located at Putnam Township in Livingston County, State of Michigan. The community of Hell is serviced by their neighbor village of Pinckney.
If visiting Michigan, I highly recommend to visit Hell and explore what Hell will offer you:
-
Are you interested in being the Mayor of Hell to rule for one day or one full hour?
-
How about to decide to get married or tie the knot in a small Chapel of Love in Hell?
-
Do not worry about the Wedding Ceremony place, Hell Saloon or Hell Hole Burger, will offer fantastic foods and entertainment in the evening?
-
Locks of Love Bridge (lock your love by throwing away the key in the Hell Creek River)
-
Last but not least, after getting bored of the above activities you want to escape Hell?
Being a Mayor of Hell for one day or a long-hour? Be a self-elected Mayor by filling out a request form on the city website with some fees for contribution to the coffers. There are no actual duties for being a Mayor besides your name will be on the board and you will also receive plenty of swag. There are horns, a T-shirt, dirt from Hell, mug, wallet card, badge, and of course a certificate. Being self-elected Mayor for an hour term will only receive a certificate and mug.

Interested in tying the knot with your better half in Hell? A wedding in Hell? Locals like to claim that “marriage starting in Hell can only get better”. The small Hell’s Chapel of Love will join the two souls in matrimony. The Chapel itself is only able to contain about a dozen guests (including the couple and officiant) but the Hell (park-like) ground will be able to accomodate an outdoor ceremony for up to 150 guests. Both locations are for rent. Hell is also available if one wants to renew their vows. Please note, you still need to get your marriage license from the County CourtHouse.

Catering and bar services are also available for wedding ceremony at Hell Saloon and Hell Hole Diner, one can really have a wicked good time with sinful food and an evening of live entertainment. Some of the menu is Devil’s Skin, Hell in a Handbasket, Sinful Backsliders, Two Horn Chili, Fallen Angel Wings, 7 Deadly Sins Pizza, Sinners Delight Pizza, Good Meets Evil Burger, etc. just to name a few.

Now if you’re ready to escape Hell? Paddling adventure can be arranged from Hell to a water paradise along quiet inland waters through Pinckney State Recreation Area’s chain of lakes. The website encourages visitors to consider taking a sunset paddle to soak in the scenery at twilight before Hell’s goblins come out. Boo!

Oh by the way, there is no hotel or motel facility in Hell. They have acres of beautiful campgrounds, hiking and biking trails.

On a hot summer day in Hell, enjoy some ice cream from Hell’s Creamatory of Screams. Are you brave enough to have Gravedigger Sundae to earn a Scream’s Death Certificate? There is a souvenirs’ shop, Hell & Helloween, inside the store. While you are there, please do not forget to get a postcard to send to friends or families stamped “been through Hell ‘’ from the mailing station inside Hell Hole Diner and Hell’s Crematory of Screams.
Hell offers all year long experience of DEVILishly good times in their community events:
-
February: Hearts 'n Farts Helluva Chili Cook-Off
-
March: St. Practice Day
-
April: Duckie Hunt in Hell
-
June: Summer Festival with entertainment, art, and food. Also Southeast Michigan’s largest motorcycle event and bike show (Blessed in Hell)
-
September, Hearsefest, a hearse parade, derby races, costume contests, live performances for family fun

At the back of the corner of the Scream’s Building, there is a small library to hang out at. The name is Hell Community Library, with the writing “funded with a grant from Damnation University”.

Now, let’s hear the history of Hell. The name of the town officially became Hell in 1841. The name came from the first settler, George Reeves in 1838. The habit of George was paying local farmers with distilled whiskey for their grain led many wives comment about their husbands “He’s gone to Hell again”.
For Accessibility enthusiasts, please note that this place is accessible friendly

. It is really a very friendly cute town. During summer this is the place where bikers hang out. Love to see different kind of bikes (big motorcycle like Harley) fill up the parking lot.
but I was very curious to know about this place in the USA.
We can “travel” (learn about) to different places and sure Local Guides tell us about some “secret” places like this!
. Loved it
