In which New Mexico town did Georgia O'Keeffe maintain a home that is now a museum?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe maintained a home in Abiquiú, New Mexico, that is now a museum.

O'Keeffe acquired the adobe house in Abiquiú in 1945 and spent years restoring it. She began living there regularly in 1949 after Alfred Stieglitz’s death. The property provided a secluded studio and direct access to the northern New Mexico landscape that shaped her later work.

The house contains architectural features that appear in her paintings, including a courtyard wall and a distinctive door. O'Keeffe was fascinated by the way ordinary structures, shadows, and surfaces could become abstract compositions.

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum acquired the property and opened it for tours in 1998. The site is separate from Ghost Ranch, where O'Keeffe also had a home and painted extensively. Both places are essential to understanding her New Mexico years.
