Despite these challenges, Antelope found itself thrust into the spotlight during the 1980s with the arrival of the Rajneesh movement, which briefly transformed the town into Rajneeshpuram. This chapter in history, marked by a controversial takeover, drew national attention and continues to intrigue travelers to this day.
Today, Antelope is home to 37 residents, surrounded by generational ranching families and serves as a testament to resilience and the enduring allure of its storied past.
Today, the city is a distressed community characterized as a “near Ghost Town” and in the process of “Reawakening.” Traveling to this area you will see a gem of a community surrounded by local ranches.
