Cabot's Pueblo Museum

Historic Pueblo & Cultural Landmark

Cabot's Pueblo Museum is one of Desert Hot Springs' most treasured landmarks. This remarkable 35-room, four-story Hopi-style pueblo was hand-built over a span of more than 20 years by Cabot Yerxa, an early desert pioneer and eccentric artist.

Constructed using found materials and Native American building techniques, the pueblo features intricately decorated rooms, authentic Native American art and artifacts, and stunning handcrafted details throughout. The structure is built directly over and around Cabot's original homestead claim, preserving the history of early desert settlement.
