Cabot’s Pueblo Museum - Olivia Michelle

Cabot’s Pueblo Museum is the oldest house in Palm Springs that is still standing and in-tact. This pueblo style home was built in 1914 and was the home to Cabot and Portia Yerxa. They were the first family to discover the cool and hot springs under the desert in Palm Desert, California. Here is some info on the museum and what to expect on your visit.

Parking is available on the property and is free, just follow sings to the parking lot.

Though it is old, the pueblo is really unique and it amazes me how they built it. The grounds are filled with different cacti.

There is a small gift shop and restrooms are available on site.

Your tour is self guided through the museum and is at your own pace. Each room has it’s own audio to play and listen to, in total the tour will be 45-ish minutes if you listen to it fully.

I’ll confess that Travis and Aurora thought it was extremely boring. I thought the pueblo was really cool to see and I enjoyed walking through it but we did not listen to the audio for every room.
