Welcome to Cabot's Museum!

Located in Desert Hot Springs, Cabot's Pueblo Museum is a unique Hopi inspired Pueblo hand-made by Cabot Yerxa. This multi-level building includes 35 rooms, 150 windows and 65 doors, all crafted from found materials. The museum houses Cabot’s collection of Native American pottery, early 20th century photographs and artifacts from his Alaskan adventures. The museum grounds, including a picnic area, are beautifully landscaped with native plants and home to many rustic period items – early 1900’s tools, machinery and housegoods.

The beginning of the story ...

Cabot's Pueblo Museum preserves the rugged frontier spirit of the pioneer days in the Coachella Valley.
It also preserves the history of the life of Cabot Yerxa. His was a life of astonishing adventure, travel, long work and individualism.This story is presented here in the words of Cole Eyraud, one of Cabot's long-time friends.

"Cabot Yerxa left a priceless legacy as a result of his inquisitive, imaginative and creative pioneering spirit. When he embraced the seemingly barren desert land of Southern California and called it home, a new chapter in American history began – one which should ever remind us of man’s tenacity and persistence.
