Hell is a small unincorporated community near Pinckney. The seven acres of land feature extremely creative businesses, such as the Creamatory ice cream parlor and a wedding chapel with the slogan, "A marriage that starts in Hell has nowhere to go but up!"

Guests can even be mayor for a day, or even just an hour. In 2022, a California cat with wide eyes and big feet was mayor for the day.
