Knott's Berry Farm will be offering its history to collectors in auction

Want to own a part of Knott’s Berry Farm’s past? An auction is planned to give collectors and theme park fans that chance.

According to a post on its website, the farm is planning an auction of “more than 300 one-of-a-kind items from America’s first theme park” that will be held in January 2017 in the Charles M. Schulz theatre at the park.

Knott’s officials have not released a list of what will be offered at the auction, but said on the website that it will include historic artifacts from Ghost Town, Camp Snoopy, other areas of the park and from the Walter Knott Archives. It does say some of the items could be theme park ride vehicles, player pianos, vintage coin-operated machines and more.

“Many memories are created at Knott’s Berry Farm and this auction is one way for fans to preserve those special times through collecting unique memorabilia from the park’s rich history,” Knott’s officials said in a statement.
