In which New Mexico village did Georgia O'Keeffe maintain a home now preserved as a museum?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe maintained a home in Abiquiú, New Mexico, and that property is now preserved as the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio. She acquired the neglected adobe house in 1945 and spent years overseeing its restoration.

The Abiquiú property includes architectural features that mattered to O'Keeffe, including a courtyard, a distinctive door, and views toward the surrounding landscape. The home was not merely a residence; it was also a place where she organized her working life and found subjects for paintings.

The property differs from O'Keeffe’s other New Mexico residence at Ghost Ranch. Her Abiquiú home is managed as a historic site and opened for public tours by the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. Because access is limited and tours are scheduled, visitors generally encounter the house through organized visits rather than casual entry.
