CABOT'S PUEBLO MUSEUM TOUR
Notice: Effective October 1, 2004, a two dollar fee ($2) will be
charged for all non members on day hikes, 4x4 outings and moonlight hikes.
Description:
Cabot's Pueblo Museum is a unique Hopi inspired Pueblo hand-made by Cabot Yerxa over 24 years. 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.
Before settling in the California desert, Cabot Yerxa led an adventurous life in places as far flung as
Mexico, Cuba, Alaska, New York City and Paris, France (where he studied painting during the Impressionist
period). In 1913 Cabot homesteaded 160 acres in what is now Desert Hot Springs. Pressed for water, he dug a
well with pick and shovel, discovering the now famous hot mineral water of Desert Hot Springs.
Nearby, through a second well, he discovered the pure cold water of the Mission Springs Aquifer. These two
wells, hot and cold, give the area surrounding the Pueblo its name – Miracle Hill.
Docent tour is approximately 1 hour. The upstairs is now open.
