GENERAL MERCHANDISE STORE
Ghost Town, Knott’s Berry Farm
Buena Park, California
One of the places we enjoyed most was this authentic old store where we bought real hard rock candy, drank sarsaparilla and sat around the pot-bellied stove swopping stories with the general storekeeper and watching the old emitter’s checker game. Tonight we may go to the Wagon Camp to enjoy western entertainment and square dancing.
–There is another view of this building from a few days ago here. This card likely dates from the 1950s.
Every year around Christmas, we purchase from Knots, for our son, know pancake mix and serrup. Who do I contact to purchase those items. We usually get a big box and extra serrup.
This is the best place to visit when odering products from Knott’s Berry Farm:

Unfortunately, syrups have been discontinued due to low demand, as noted on the site above.
Hello. My name is Betty Jo Clark. My husbands grandfather is the store keeper on the post card watch the checker game.
Thanks for sharing! I’l be fixing the broken links so folks can appreciate who you’re referring to.
