I was in the mood to share some Knott's Berry Farm photos, until I saw that I had some vintage brochure scans that I'd done nine years ago. It's time to use them! They are variations on a theme.First is the cover of a 1967 brochure. Coated stock! Color photos! Olde-timey typography! Jams and jellies! It has it all. 200 acres of parking? Is this heaven??On the back panel we get a brief history of KBF, along with a photo of the family, including Walter and Cordelia. Nice! Daughter Marion, in red, became a key leader in guiding Knott's to its future. There is a mention of a $1 admission fee, I thought that Knott's did not start charging admission until 1968, but I am clearly mistaken, since the tiny date of "10/67" can be seen at the bottom of the brochure.On the reverse, we see some of the restaurants and shops, as well as features such as the Bird Cage Theatre, Old MacDonald's Farm, and a genuine San Francisco Cable Car. Ding ding!Next is this "6/72" version of the brochure. No more…
