About this audio guide
This guide to Knott's Berry Farm follows Cordelia Knott, who began selling fried chicken dinners for sixty-five cents a plate during the Great Depression to help her husband's berry stand survive, and the line of hungry customers that grew until it stretched for hours along the highway. It turns to her husband Walter's answer: hauling in real buildings from old western mining camps to give travelers somewhere to wander while they waited. Look for the false storefronts along the walkway as you wait for your own table.
