History
Otto and Brita Erickson raised their four children, Edward, Betsy, Kristen, and Andrew, on the farmstead. In 1893, Edward purchased the land from his father and married Olivia Sara Ostrom, from Vasterbotten, Sweden. Edward and Olivia raised their family on the farmstead. They had seven sons and two daughters. Starting in the 1920's, Edward Erickson and his sons began to open a variety of businesses, including ventures into retail grocery and merchandisings, called Erickson Stores. They also ventured into oil, opening the businesses that would eventually be know as Holiday Service Stations and SuperAmerica Service Stations. The family left the property for a few years after the Depression, but purchased the Farmstead back in the 1960s. It was restored at that time and has passed through a few hands. The current restoration work began in January of 2018.
