Bad Axe, Michigan

With a name like "Septimus," the area's first settler must have been a Bad Axe just to keep from getting beaten up! Septimus Irwin and the other folks who founded this woodsy 2-square-mile place in the “Thumb of Michigan” sure created some sharp buildings. Bad Axe takes pride in their historic areas such as Pioneer Log Village, which showcases six fully restored and furnished log buildings originally built in the late 1800’s. Too bad that by the time Bad Axe was through with Michigan it had only one thumb left! Papst’s axe is on display at Axe’s local library, though some would rather strike this notion off as a false rumor. The citizens of Bad Axe may never know if the blade is authentic. Hopefully one day they’ll be able to cut through to the truth of the matter and carve out a verdict! Any way you slice it, it's worth a swing by 43° 48’ 10” North, 82° 59’ 59” West to find your inner Bad Axe.
