After 18 years, California Mission models are back at Knott's Berry Farm

Just like the swallows in San Juan Capistrano, the models of California’s missions have returned to Knott’s Berry Farm after an 18-year absence.

On Wednesday, 13 of the restored models went on display, with the other 8 planned for placement over the next few months.

The original models first appeared in the park in 1956. They were commissioned by Walter Knott to be placed along a trail next to the Stagecoach line to keep people from wandering in front of the horse-drawn carriages.
