"It's still one of the number one questions," Palumbo said. "If you're here in Chippewa Square, that people are asking where's the bench? And then you have to give them that heartbreaking news that we had to put it in a museum.""You might notice that we have a fence built around it now because so many people want to sit on it and have their picture made," Beck said.And they don't want it to break, especially since it's not an actual wood bench. It's a prop made of fiberglass.So if you go looking for the famous Forrest Gump bench, remember it's no longer in Chippewa Square where Gen. James Oglethorpe stands.It's nicely tucked away in the Savannah History Museum, for those who've seen the classic and those yet to discover its magic.
