[Our eternal thanks to John Guss, who served as the standin for Cary Elwes and hand double for Matthew Broderick throughout the entire movie of Glory, for all the above locations information]
The field in McDonough, Georgia used for the battle scenes is now where the Kroger shopping center and Wesley Lakes subdivision on Jonesboro Road are located. Industrial Boulevard splits the location in two. Several of my friends had jobs working on the prop cannons. [Thanks to Reid Burch]
The scene in which Mathew Broderick and Denzel Washington are talking after the James Island battle was actually filmed on the north end of Jekyll Island, Georgia, not behind a Beaufort motel as some have suggested. [Thanks to John Guss]
