Chippewa Square
A filming location from Forrest Gump in Savannah.
The scene
The leafy, oak-shaded square is where Forrest sits on a bench and tells his life story to passers-by.
How to visit
A free public square to stroll, though the film bench was a prop and now lives in a local history museum, so the square is the spot rather than a bench. The historic district spreads out from here.
