The early history of Knott's Berry Farm is explored through the vision of its founder, Walter Knott, who transformed a simple roadside berry stand into a renowned amusement park. The narrative highlights the family's relentless pursuit of expansion, culminating in the iconic Chicken Dinner Restaurant and the creation of Ghost Town. Featuring over 200 rarely seen images, the book captures the unique journey and evolution of this beloved California landmark before the advent of Disneyland.
