Cabot’s Pueblo Museum is a nonprofit historic house museum in a residential hillside setting in Desert Hot Springs. Built around Cabot Yerxa’s Hopi-inspired pueblo of reclaimed materials, it pairs an unusual handbuilt setting with rooms, collections, and views over the Coachella Valley.

Tour a Handbuilt Pueblo

A visit takes you through the rooms of the pueblo as well as the courtyard, outer buildings, exhibition gallery, Water Gallery, and grounds. The handbuilt structure is the center of the experience, while the surrounding spaces broaden the visit. Take time to notice how the building and its hillside location shape the museum’s character.

Explore Stories and Collections

Interpretation explores Yerxa’s travels, his work as a human rights advocate, his Native American art and artifact collection, and his water discovery on Miracle Hill. These threads give visitors several ways into the site beyond its architecture. The result is a house museum visit that connects personal history, collecting, and the Desert Hot Springs setting.

Choose Your Visit Style

Tickets are offered in guided, self-guided, audio-tour, and grounds-only formats, so you can select the approach that suits your visit. Ticket availability ends before tour times, making advance planning useful. The museum operates on a seasonal schedule — check ahead before you go. Its residential hillside setting rewards visitors who want a quieter cultural stop.
