Forest Gump’s bench is no longer at Chippewa Square but in the Savannah museum . You can however photograph the location. I agree with going to Bonaventure Cemetery, if you do a tour you’ll learn lots of Savannah history. I recommend touring with Shannon Scott, he is very knowledgeable of all things Savannah, including Midnight in the Garden of good and evil . If your interested in things regarding the movie, tour Mercer/ Williams house. Go down to River St and see the Waving girl, walk the cobble streets and enjoy the little shops. A short walk from river st is Leopolds , famous for its ice cream. St John’s Cathedral is beautiful with its stain glass windows. The fountain at Forsyth Park, and each of the squares have a bit of history to them. We enjoyed the hop on off trolley tour or a carriage ride, all the tour guides share a vast amount of knowledge of Savannah history. On the way to Charleston stop at St. John’s island to visit the Angel Oak tree.

Your pictures are wonderful! A little trip back home for me, I grew up in the Chicago burbs and made countless trips to Brookfield zoo. Now that I’ve retired in the south, I can tell you nowhere is there any zoo that can compaired to Brookfield Zoo.

Gracie Watson was born in 1883; the only child of her parents. Her father was manager of the Pulaski Hotel, one of Savannah’s best hotels. Guests often found Gracie in the lobby or outside playing ,often singing and dancing for the guests. She became a favorite to all the guests, who often brought her gifts on their return visits. 2 days before Easter in 1889 Gracie died of pneumonia at age 6. She is buried at Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah. Her father commissioned to have her gravestone a life size statue of Gracie made from Georgia marble. Her grave is often covered in flowers and toys , she’s one of the most visited graves at Bonaventure. They had to put a fence completely around the grave now to stop vandalism. ( I hope you really wanted to know - lol)
