Cabot’s Pueblo Museum is an artistic environment celebrating the creative spirit.

POSSIBILITIES, CURIOSITY, OPPORTUNITY. These words embody Cabot Yerxa’s spirit, an incredible man who led a life of adventure. Cabot lived throughout the United States from New York to Alaska to California. He traveled the world including Europe, Cuba, and South America. He was a businessman, artist, and human rights activist with a special focus on the legal, economic, and cultural crisis facing Native American tribes.

Cabot became a homesteader in 1913 in what we know as Desert Hot Springs, and, in 1941, returned to the area with his resourcefulness, love of nature and genuine creativity to build his home in the desert hills using materials from the landscape: handmade adobe bricks, railroad cross ties, telephone poles.

Cabot’s Pueblo Museum is managed by the Cabot’s Museum Foundation. The mission of the Cabot’s Museum Foundation is to promote and preserve Cabot Yerxa’s legacy of cultural respect, education, art, community, and the desert habitat. The Museum welcomes approximately 18,500 visitors a year to experience Cabot’s story, home, and Museum through tours led by staff and volunteers.
