The Bench
‘Forrest Gump’ has its share of iconic scenes and moments, including objects like the floating feather. But there are other parts of the film that show up repeatedly and hold a lot of meaning. Another iconic object from the movie is the bench that Forrest sat on while waiting for his bus in Savannah, Georgia. So what ever did become of that bench?

After the making of the film had finally ended, officials in Savannah thought that the bench was too valuable to leave it vulnerable to the public. It would be a shame if it got covered in graffiti or even stolen. So the bench was removed, and you can see it for yourself at the Savannah History Museum.
