PHOTOS: AmericaJR Takes You on a Tour of Hell, Michigan

AmericaJR.com’s Gloria and Jerome Rzucidlo recently visited the small community of Hell, Michigan. The community is near the border with Washtenaw County, about 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Ann Arbor. Hell is 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Pinckney via Patterson Lake Road. Henry Ford considered building some manufacturing facilities in the area but decided against it. On July 15, 1961, a postal substation was established at Hell, operating from May 1 through September 30. It remains at the back of the general store, although the United States Postal Service does not recognize Hell as a town; it instead uses the name of nearby Pinckney as the mailing address.
