Lots of churches occupy Savannah.
The church steps you are sitting on is the church where President Woodrow Wilson got married, he married the Pastor's niece.
The original structure was built in 1755 but rebuilt in 1890 after a fire.
MOVIE SIGHTING!!!
Look up: the steeple was prominent in the opening minutes of the movie Forrest Gump, click to watch the opening clip on you tube.
Speaking of Forrest Gump, the famous "bus stop bench scene" was filmed just up the street.
Your next stop will be Chippew Square, that famous bench sat right where the Chippew Square sign sits today. The bench has been moved and was never an actual bus stop. Kind of a bummer that you can't sit on the bench for a picture but oh well, life is like a box of chocolates, ya never know what you're gonna get.
Once in the square have a seat, or stand, eat a box of chocolates or not and click here for your next clue.
