KNOTT'S BERRY FARM CIRCA 1965-Pg. 1
This gallery reproduces a 1965 (approx.)
advertising pamphlet produced by Knott's Berry Farm.
Until the late 60s, when they decided to go head to head
with Disneyland, the Knott family offered a very low key
alternative to theme park adventuring, as these pages will
show.
As a life-long Southern California resident, I remember most
of the attractions pictured here from my various visits though
the years and have added annotations to give a bit more insight
into the pictures.
Thanks go to Mr. Kirk Real for the loan of this pamphlet.
Mr. Real is the longest employed of any of the current staff,
having worked at the park for over 47 years.
Front Cover.
A short history.
Personal greetings from
Walter and Cordelia.
The shops are still
there.1
Note the family names on this
and the preceding page.4
The Chapel has regular Sunday
services and is available for weddings.
Don't recall if the stand still exists.
The mine cars are now a thrill ride.
The full double page spread.
The restaurant is still a big draw.1
The Ghost Town is still pretty
much as pictured here.2
