Due to budget constraints, no scenes could be filmed in Vietnam. Fortunately, production designer Rick Carter found the small town of Beaufort, South Carolina which had all the locations that could pass for Alabama. He located a perfect oak tree lane which once had a house at the end, so Forrest's house was built there especially for production, and Jenny's house in a field. The battle scenes were shot on a field across Jenny's house, with over twenty palmetto trees planted to make it look like Vietnam.
