Cabot's Pueblo Museum is located in Desert Hot Springs. Every time we go up to Joshua Tree we see this town off in the distance and after 10 years we finally made it over there to see what was there. The Hopi Indian inspired Pueblo was built by Cabot Yerxa. He started construction in 1913 and worked on it until he died in 1965.

Like many who lived and built in the desert Cabot used pieces of things he found. There are beams from old telephone poles and windows from many different structures. Many obtained from old abandoned homesteads.

The museum is open all year and they provide guided tours where you will learn about Cabot and his family. It is an interesting place to visit. The trading post has many high quality items and the grounds were immaculate.
