Knott's Berry Farm: The Early Years

Images of America: California

by Jay Jennings

Before there was a Disneyland, there was Knott's Berry Farm. What started out in the early 1920s as a small, roadside berry stand in Buena Park, California, grew over the next 60 years into one of the most popular amusement parks in the world. Its founder, Walter Knott, along with his wife and family, knew no boundaries when it came to expanding his small berry market and tearoom into the world-famous Chicken Dinner Restaurant and later adding his ultimate achievement, Ghost Town. This book documents the early history of Knott's Berry Farm, featuring over 200 rarely seen images.

This book brought back many happy memories of my times visiting Knott’s Berry Farm. Not a normal book with lots of writing but told through historical photos.

Knott's Berry Farm is one of my most favorite places, and to hear of how it all began was so exciting!
