Significance: The Antelope Springs Methodist Episcopal Church is one of the only early-20th century, community-built, timber frame churches still standing in Northeastern Colorado. Throughout its history, the church has demonstrated strong community support, with many early members playing an active role in its construction and expansion in 1932. The church is the only building still standing on its original site from the Antelope Springs community. The property has been vacant since 2000 but is privately owned with the hope that it will remain as a community center once rehabilitated.

Site Needs: Mothballing to close the open roof and identify funding for future restoration
