CABOT YERXA'S HOPI INSPIRED HOMESTEAD MUSEUM

Today we went to this amazing National Historic Sight right in Desert Hot Springs.

VISIT CABOT YERXA'S HOPI INSPIRED HOMESTEAD MUSEUM
Nestled in the scenic hills of Desert Hot Springs, a Hopi-inspired pueblo sits against a hillside. Not just any pueblo, but one built with re-purposed materials he collected throughout the desert. Cabot’s pueblo spreads an impressive 5,000 square feet, divided into 35 rooms and adorned with 150 windows and 65 doors. What a sight it is to see!
Through the tour, you will have the chance to get to know the man behind the pueblo: a bright and ambitious man, who followed his heart, traveled the world and accomplished countless things.
In a modern world where everything we need is at our fingertips with a touch of a button, a flick of a switch or the sound of a voice, it’s hard to imagine having to walk 14 miles for water.

It's a must see if you get here.

All 150 windows are different, as are the 65 doors and many rooms. Cabot wouldn't cut wood so he made a 7' room if that's what he had. This door is made from an old abandoned wagon found in the desert.

 Incredible place even having 2 openings in the wall's seen here,to direct wind acting as central air conditioning back in the 1930's.
