Shields Date Farm & Cabot's Museum Wed., Sept. 21, 7 am - 1:30 pm, $45 pp, includes breakfast buffet. First on the list, we will head out to Shields Date Farm for a delicious breakfast buffet, then tour the garden and date shop. Floyd and Bess Shields came to the California desert in 1924 and started Shields Date Garden, working long and hard to build up their business and educate their customers about date culture. In the beginning, Mr. Shields would give his lecture in the garden. Floyd was a pioneer in the date business, breeding his own varieties of dates, such as our famous "Blonde" and "Brunette" dates, that are exclusive to Shields Date Garden and grown nowhere else in the entire world. He also invented the Date Crystal, a blend of dates turned into a dry product that can be used in cooking. Date Crystals do not need refrigeration and when kept in a moisture-proof container will last for many years. After 24 years of construction, and fashioning it as a Hopi Indian pueblo in honor of the Indian people, Yerxa opened "Cabot's Old Indian Pueblo" in 1945. He operated it with his wife, Portia until his death in 1965. Upon his death Portia returned to her native Texas and the structure was abandoned. The main building is a four-story, 5,000 square foot structure with 35 rooms, 150 windows, 65 doors and 30 different roof levels. The pueblo and all the outbuildings on the site were built primarily from scrap wood and sheet metal all scavenged from the surrounding desert by Yerxa.
