The Bethlehem Lutheran Church Manse was constructed of hand-hewn squared logs in the 1880s by Swedish immigrants to the community of Scandinavia in the Rural Municipality of Clanwilliam. It was later moved to Erickson around 1987 where, as a municipal historic site (1987), it was used for a time as a community museum. It was later judged to be structurally unsound and was demolished.
The site also contains the Erickson Centennial Monument and, for a time prior to its removal in late 2015, the building for the former Nedrob School.
