Top Vacations in Michigan

Top Vacations in Michigan
Michigan is a state with unexampled geographic characteristics because it is made up of two separate peninsulas. Visiting this naturally breathtaking part of the United States can be exciting and educational during any time of the year and for all walks of life.

Welcome to Hell

Hell, Mich., was founded in 1841 by a man named George Reeves. This was a time of hardship for many settlers, even for Reeves. When the state of Michigan asked him for the name of his town, it became official when he said, "Call it Hell for all I care; everyone else does." As of 2009, Hell is steadily growing as a tourist attraction full of history and oddity.
