ABELL GEAR

Abell's story runs deep through St. Mary's County's Seventh District. Once a thriving hub for fishermen and farmers in the late 19th century through the 1950s, this unincorporated community earned its reputation for major ports and deep water access that welcomed large steamboats. Though storms have claimed many of those historic ports, the spirit remains, century-old homes still stand, and local fishermen continue their traditions along St. Clements Bay, preserving a way of life passed down through generations. Abell embodies the resilience and character of Maryland's waterfront heritage. Hometown Supply Co celebrates that legacy with merchandise designed to honor where you're from and who you are.
