You (Or Anything) Can Be The ‘Mayor of Hell’ Michigan For A Day

One of the most curiously named towns in the entire state of Michigan is Hell (and its northern opposite, Paradise). Yes, there is a very small town literally named Hell, MI, located 60 miles west of Detroit. No, it is not a fiery pit of doom designated for those damned to eternal suffering (though I can't speak for the residents that call it home).

Locals are well aware of the absurdity of the fact that their town is named Hell, and lean into it in fun ways like inviting people to "get married in Hell", offering people the opportunity to purchase one square inch of land to say they own property in hell.

But perhaps the goofiest thing you can do in Hell is to become the mayor of hell for a day (or even an hour).

Be Mayor Of Hell (Michigan)

Step aside, Lucifer, there's a new mayor in town...you, or a pet, or even a cucumber if you so choose. On the official Hell, Michigan website gotohell.com, you can sign up to become mayor for a day, or even just an hour, with different perks depending on the length of your tern.

The honorary mayor doesn't even need to be in person to be the Mayor, or even a person. Sign ups are done through the website. You can view everything available to do in Hell in the view below by Santos Chronicles.

All of these wacky offerings inside Hell are hosted by Screams Souvenirs. While being mayor is nothing more than a title, it's still fun brings attention to a very small area of the state that might otherwise be overlooked.
