My family lived in Buena Park in 1959/60 about 1 mile away from Knotts. Back then the park was free and we went there a lot (for chicken dinner, pies, or just to screw around). The only "attractions" then were the train, the stagecoach, old McDonalds farm, panning for gold, the Indian village and ghost town. I think that year stands out as my favorite childhood memory (BTW, we lived right behind the Lincoln Drive-In and got to see movies for free!).
