The Antler–Lyleton Border Crossing connects the cities of Antler, North Dakota and Pierson, Manitoba on the Canada–US border. The town of Antler reached its peak population in 1910 at 342 residents, but a hundred years later it had dwindled to just 27.[1] In 2015, Craig Cobb announced plans to purchase vacant home sites in Antler and establish a white supremecist community. The remaining residents of Antler have worked to purchase all the vacant property in advance of Cobb in an effort to thwart his plans.[2]
The United States replaced its border station in 2011. Canada replaced the Lyleton border station in 2013. This is the westernmost border crossing in Manitoba.
