Forsyth Park and Fountain

The fountain went in during 1858, cast iron manufactured in New York, its design derived from the fountains at Place de la Concorde in Paris. It has appeared in *Forrest Gump*, *Cape Fear*, and *Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil*. The park itself is 30 acres, dating to the 1840s, named for Georgia Governor John Forsyth. Every St. Patrick's Day, the fountain runs green.
