WILSONS GEAR

Once a vital railroad stop along the Southside Railroad in the mid-1800s, later becoming part of the Norfolk and Western Railway network, Wilsons served as a crucial water supply point for steam engines. The iconic water tower that defined the town's skyline for over a century stands as a testament to this industrial heritage. Today, residents and visitors honor Wilsons' legacy along U.S. Route 460 between Petersburg and Blackstone. Hometown Supply Co's Wilsons merchandise lets you wear your connection to this storied Virginia town with pride, whether you're local or just passing through.
