This card will give you a faint idea of what we saw at the Covered Wagon Diorama in the old Ghost Town Hotel here . The beautiful night effect of the dramatic panorama, the words and music are heard are something we will never forget. The entire big painting was created in honor of Walter Knott's mother who came by Covered Wagon in 1868- You must see it when you come here .
