A Worthy Bench

The bench that Hanks sat on for most of the film was located in Savannah, Georgia. In fact, its exact location was at Chippewa Square. After the film was released, the bench became famous around the world and attracted fans from across the country.

Soon after the film was released, the bench was moved to a museum to make sure it wasn’t destroyed. Today, it is part of the Savannah History Museum in Georgia. Would you visit it?
