Step back into California’s past as Pat Pattison’s Best of California explores the iconic Ghost Town at Knott’s Berry Farm — from gold digging and Wild West storytelling to the fog‑filled thrills of Knott’s Scary Farm, the longest-running Halloween haunt in the U.S.

Walk the wooden sidewalks of the original Ghost Town built in the 1940s, inspired by Calico and other historic Western towns. Meet the blacksmith, pan for gold, visit the Bird Cage Theatre, and experience the rich pioneer history Walter Knott preserved for generations.

Then, dive into the spooky side of Knott’s as Scary Farm transforms the streets into a foggy maze of monsters, sliders, and legendary scare zones — including the original Ghost Town Streets, first introduced in 1973.

Finally, Pat visits Independence Hall, Knott’s exact replica of the Philadelphia landmark, celebrating American heritage and California’s connection to the nation’s founding.

This episode blends California history, immersive storytelling, senior-friendly travel, and seasonal thrills — perfect for viewers who love hidden gems, nostalgia, and unforgettable experiences.
