The purpose of this blog is to share my collection of Knott's memorabila, which mainly consists of printed material. I will occasionally add some photographs, original art, souvenirs and others items that I have collected over the years. Such as the wood type used to make my header, which was used in the Ghost Town Print Shop on the old Washington Press, to print the souvenir newspaper headlines.

The Knott's School House
I'm posting a copy of the new School House brochure that was recreated in 2008. The old one was posted on the Vintage Disneyland Tickets blog yesterday. The new one is basically the same just with some new art and photos. The School House was brought to Knott's Berry Farm in 1952.
On June 18, 1960 the Daughters of the American Revolution presented Walter Knott with a bronze plaque at a dedication ceremony honoring the one room School house. The inscribtion on the plaque reads "In recognition of the value to our Nation of the eduacation provided by the one room school house. This plaque is placed on an original one built in 1879, near beloit, Kansas. Dedicated by Hannah Bushrod Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution,June 1940." Below are the program from the dedication ceremony and flyer about the ceremony from about a month later.

Good to see the use of a traditional bronze plaque to commemorate such a valuable institution.
