Independence Hall? Knott Exactly: How Walter Knott Rebuilt a Symbol of Freedom—Almost Brick for Brick.

WhereInThePark.com Episode 7

Did you know there’s a full-size replica of Independence Hall just steps away from Knott’s Berry Farm? On this episode of the Where In The Park Podcast, we explore the fascinating story behind this patriotic passion project from Walter Knott—why he built it, how accurate it really is, and what makes it so unique. From the Liberty Bell replica to minute architectural details, we compare the Knott’s version with the original in Philadelphia and share what most guests never even notice.

This episode dropped on July 4th, 2025—exactly 59 years after Knott’s Independence Hall first opened to the public.
