Although it looked like a real house that had been around for decades, it was actually built for the movie “hastily and not to code,” and was torn down after shooting ended. Both the Gump house and Jenny's farmhouse were reportedly built on the Bluff Plantation on the Combahee River between Varnville and Beaufort.
The Gump boarding house and Jenny's (Robin Wright Penn) farmhouse stood on the Bluff Plantation, Twickenham Road, just southeast of Yemassee, on the Combahee River between Varnville and Beaufort. Built only for the movie, they were torn down after filming.
During one scene where Forrest Gump is running across America, he was actually running along the road which today leads to The Inn on Biltmore Estate and Antler Hill Village & Winery!
