When things got tough during the Depression, Mrs. Knott set up a roadside stand selling pies, preserves, and home-cooked chicken dinners. Lines became so long that Walter decided to create an Old West Ghost Town as a diversion for waiting customers. Today, guests can still enjoy their famous chicken dinners and boysenberry pie.
