1. Knott's Collectibles

Welcome to the Knott's Berry Farm Museum, where you'll find over 50 years of Knott's history on display in six exhibits (Collectibles, Menus, Maps, Souvenir Books, Tickets, and Postcards) from the 1930s up until the 1970s. Unfortunately, the old farm we all grew up with is now sadly gone. To keep those cherished years and memories alive, a sample of the museum's inventory can be viewed online until a permanent home can be found to showcase the entire collection. Here, we present a variety of rare objects, items and relics that were available at Knott's Berry Farm during the early years.
