THE KNOTT'S BERRY FARM MUSEUM: 4. Knott's Books

Unlike the dozens of Disneyland books and pictorial souvenir guides that have been available over the last 50 years, Knott's Berry Farm books and pictorial souvenir guides are few and far between, so they are definitely more harder to find. A few early books about Knott's Berry Farm, The Calico Railway and Calico Ghost Town were written in the late 1940s and early 50s (souvenir books mostly) and three books about Walter Knott were written in the 50s, 60s and 70s (all on display here). Outside of these books and pictorial souvenir guides (i.e.,“Ghost Town News”), there really wasn't a lot written about Knott's Berry Farm, although it must be said that the pictorial guides were very educational, with their color photos and Old West prose, each one was like a Knott's history lesson.
