Cornelia White's Little House on the Village Green
Part of Palm Springs historical buildings is Cornelia White's Little House. Located right next to Ruddy's General Store and the tiny museum dedicated to the members of Hollywood glitterati who lived and frequented Pam Springs, the little house turned museum showed how Cornelia White lived in Palm Springs ages ago when it was virtually an undeveloped piece of land in the desert.

Also located on the Village Green, this museum is about the Cahuilla Indians and other indigenous peoples and their culture. The collections inside the museum included finely woven Cahuilla baskets and other traditional objects, documents, photographs, audiovisual records, and art. One female guide told us that the museum was about to relocate to a bigger site.
