This month will be a treat to all art and history lovers who are looking for a place to go in California. We will be sharing five museums from eight different places in California that you can check out. Today, we will be starting with Greater Palm Springs!


1. Cabot's Pueblo Museum


The one-man project was started in 1941 by homesteader, Cabot Yerxa. He built the whole place out of scavenged materials from the desert and other nearby places. Apart from it being his home, he also turned it into a museum that features trinkets from his travels around the world and his own art.
