10 facts as Knott’s Ghost Town celebrates its diamond jubilee

Many locals can remember when Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park was simply an old western town and the place to go for a chicken dinner. Today it's a sprawling theme park, but its past hasn't been left in the dust. Knott's will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of its Ghost Town May 27-Sept. 5.

The big bash will show off the renovations made to Ghost Town, including refurbishing the Calico Stage, Calico Saloon and the Wagon Camp. The GhostRider roller coaster has been restored and will reopen May 27.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the party is Ghost Town Alive!, an immersive, interactive experience for park guests. There will be many opportunities to participate in all the goings-on in town, such as joining in a card game at the Sheriff's office or chatting with the horse handlers in the real working stable in the Barn.
