For those of you who don't live in Wisconsin, Hilbert is a small community of about 1000 residents. It seems like an odd choice for her to visit.

I seems like a weird place to go right now. Wisconsin has insane COVID numbers right now too.

The area is basically unicorporated.
I'm from the other side of Lake Winnebago. I said, "Is Hilbert near New Holstein?" Sure enough it is..So, I guess I've been there, but I don't remember it cuz I probably blinked. Maybe I had a college friend from there...
We also had Hortonville over near Green Bay and we would call Hortonville "Hooterville".
