    Gilbert is a small farm town right outside of Ames, Iowa. It has a gas station and a post office and a school system but not much else. It is surrounded by beautiful farm land and has gorgeous sunsets.

    Gilbert is small town that is growing towards Ames in Iowa. The people are very friendly and school district is great for educating children in the community. Many families are graduates of the school district and stay around to reinvest into the next generation.
