Knott’s Berry Farm is an amusement park located in Buena Park, California that opened in 1920. Originally a berry farm, it was developed by the Knott family into a roadside attraction and then eventually an amusement park. The Wild West theme here was part of the park's identity from early on; in fact, one of the first attractions built by Walter Knott in the 1940’s was a replica old west ghost town.

Additional Information

This campaign pin promoting William McKinley for President is a reference to his support for gold and protective tariffs during his race against William Jennings Bryan in 1896 and features an image of the Type 3 gold dollar. For that reason, the color gold appeared through much of McKinley’s campaign materials. Other known buttons from this campaign encouraged Conservative Democrats to cross party lines and said things like “I am a Democrat but will vote for Gold Standard.”
