Description
We had memberships to Knott's Berry Farm since 1969 when admission was only $10 a year. We usually visited the park at least once a month, for the dinners of Mrs Knott. Then go through the buildings of the Old Ghost Town, watch the Free Entertainers, Country Singers, Wild West Shows, bands with various genre, that performed in the Amphitheater, Theater etc.
The theme park sits on the site of a former berry farm established by Walter Knott, Cordelia Knott, and their family. Beginning around 1920, the Knott family sold berries, berry preserves, and pies from a roadside stand along State Route 39. In 1934, the Knotts began selling fried chicken dinners in a tea room on the property, and the Knotts built several shops and other attractions to entertain visitors. Cordelia Knott's efforts in the Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant were essential to putting Knott's Berry Farm on the map, and the ensuing crowds prompted the creation of even more tourist attractions. In 1940, Walter Knott began constructing a replica Ghost Town on the property. Knott added several other attractions over the years, and began charging admission to the attractions in 1968. In 1983, Knott's Berry Farm added Camp Snoopy, which began the park's present-day association with the Peanuts characters.
In the 1990s, following the deaths of Walter and Cordelia Knott, their children sold the family business; the theme park was sold to Cedar Fair, while the food business was sold to ConAgra Foods.
Knott's has become a 160-acre theme park in Buena Park, California, owned by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company. Since the theme park's acquisition by Cedar Fair, the park's annual attendance has steadily increased. The theme park has approximately 10,000 seasonal/full-time employees. The park features 40 rides including roller coasters, family rides, children's rides, water rides, and historical rides.

I used to go to Knott's Berry Farm way back in my youth. You really spiced up the view with your digital rendition! :-)

We almost got married in the Chapel at Knotts. But Laguna Gazebo at Sunset beat it out as our favorite place in CA. Had the reception in Victor Hugos, by the Gazebo. :)
