It's not a movie set. not a model, and least of all is it a joke. Although the original remains unmoved in Philadelphia, a virtual twin — brick-for-brick, bell-for-bell. compass-position for compass-position, and 234 years younger — has risen at Knott's Berry Farm in Bucna Park. California The building and its contents fulfill the longheld dream of Walter Knott, a farmer-turncd , restaurateur. While the attraction of the second Independence Hall inevitably means a boost in the number of meals served ( already I the count of chicken and steak dinners has topped 1 .8 million a year ) this was far from I the builder's real objective.

The end-product contains nothing of the carnival, and thouuh the effect is dramatic it is surprisingly untheatrical. .A tour begins when a young lady in authcn Below: WaiU •r Knoll (rig/i() disciLssrs one of Strrco-Hiimd /(ip.
