"A Storm In Philadelphia" is an interesting audio presentation about the creation of the Declaration of Independence.  Speakers hidden at the tables place the sound where the speaker might have been sitting.  The effect works well and the show is worth seeing.

Church of Reflections - Knott's Berry Farm
The Church of Reflections was rescued from demolition in 1955 by Walter Knott.  After spending many years inside Knott's, its was moved to this location outside the park in 2003.  The church was first constructed in 1896 and was Downey First Baptist.
Church of Reflections - Knott's Berry Farm
The church is designated a Historic Church by The Daughters of the American Revolution.  Non-denominational services are held each Sunday at 11:00.  The church was moved outside the park to allow for easier access by parishioners, but to also make room for Silver Bullet.  Knott's is to be commended for rebuilding the church and preserving it's place in the neighborhood.
