Wow, just absolutely great footage and in such wonderful shape, too. My mom visited Knotts Berry Farm when - it was just a berry farm and pie shop, nothing more than that. She and her parents would drive in from San Pedro, just to have some of Mrs. Knotts pies, jams, etc. Then, they added shops, the chicken restaurant, and a re-creation of the old west. That's how I remember it as a child. And, as everyone knows, they just kept adding to it (probably to keep up with the Mouse).
it's great that you have home movies preserved to remember your family! I wish my parents had old movies of them younger -- I'd love to see them & orange county and so. california in the 50's & 60's!!
It's kind of you to post this. What a great thing to be able to see the early 1950s, and in color!
