Cabot's Pueblo Museum

Cabot's Pueblo Museum is a four-story structure built from salvaged materials and desert resources found in the region. The building contains multiple rooms, windows, and doors arranged to create functional spaces for displaying and exploring Native American culture.

Cabot Yerxa discovered mineral hot springs and cold water sources on the land in 1913 while homesteading there. These discoveries led to the founding and growth of the town of Desert Hot Springs.

The building reflects Hopi and Pueblo architectural traditions through its design and construction methods. Inside, visitors encounter Native American artwork and artifacts that showcase these building philosophies.

The museum operates on specific weekdays and visitors should confirm hours before arriving. Guided tours are available and provide detailed insight into the building and its history.

Every door and window in this pueblo structure came from abandoned buildings throughout the region. These reclaimed components create a physical record of the area's architectural past.
