Forrest Gump was released in 1994 staring Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, and Sally Field. This movie was an instant hit in box offices and even won the Academy Award for Best Picture. This classic film tells the story of a man with an IQ of 75 and all of the amazing historical events that he encountered in his life. He tells all of these stories on a bench to people waiting for the bus to arrive.
All of these scenes were filmed in Savannah, Georgia.
The name of the square the scenes are filmed at is "Chippewa Square." For the movie, a bench was installed. For fear of weather damage or being stolen, after filming was complete, the bench was moved again to a permanent home at Savannah History Museum.
About 100 yards away, there is a church that is featured in the opening credits. It is seen as the feather blows by.
