About Gilbert

Gilbert is a quiet, close-knit village tucked away in southern Franklin Parish along U.S. 425. Located about ten miles south of Winnsboro, it offers a peaceful, rural setting surrounded by north Louisiana farmland. The town is best known as the birthplace of General Claire Chennault, the World War II aviator who led the Flying Tigers, a point of local pride that is still reflected in the school's mascot.

Gilbert Water Tower

Life in Gilbert moves at an easy, unhurried pace. Because the town is small, folks head up Highway 425 into Winnsboro for bigger errands, healthcare, and grocery runs, which keeps everyday conveniences within a quick ten-minute drive. For newcomers, it offers an affordable and quiet retreat with plenty of open space and a genuinely welcoming neighborhood feel.
