There are two versions of the naming of Hell MI, which consists of a restaurant, a couple of stores and a dam but in the early 19th century included a flour mill, distillery and tavern. One is the usual stuff, wives would say their husbands, down at the tavern, had "gone to hell," and the name stuck. The other version, I recall, attributes the name to a German visitor; hell apparently referring to "bright" or "lucid." A few weeks ago, I described in the Confessions thread how my wife and I led pre-Halloween trips to Hell, consisting of pizza and beer at the Dam Site Inn and a walk on a trail through a woods, sans lights.
