This website features employees of Knott’s Berry Farm’s ghost town entertainment department program from 1970 to 1980. This would be employees that reported to entertainment division of Knott’s Berry Farm, either to Dale Shaddox or Gary Salisbury.
The Knott's Ghost Town Talent website has a approximately 400 photos which were taken while we were working at Knott’s Berry Farm during the 70’s. Many are personal photos taken by friends and family members, and others were publicity photos given to us by the Knott’s Marketing Department. A few of the photos shown here were retrieved recently from the Orange County Archives, and we acknowledge their good work in saving and cataloging historical photos of Knott's Berry Farm.
We’ve brought these photos together here to share with you, and we hope you enjoy them!
If you have any photos or even video clips of the 1970’s Ghost Town Talent that you'd like to share with us,
please email us at: We'd love to see your photos and video clips.
