🎬 Chippewa Square | The Iconic "Forrest Gump" Bench Site

Located in the heart of Savannah's historic district, Chippewa Square is forever etched in cinematic history as the setting for the beloved "Forrest Gump" bench scenes.

Imagine the scene come to life amidst the backdrop of the Savannah Theatre and the statue of General Oglethorpe. The square remains a peaceful, photogenic spot ideal for reflection, a leisurely pause, or capturing your own “life is like a box of chocolates” moment.
