Which New Mexico town contains Georgia O'Keeffe's former home and studio preserved as a museum?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe's former home and studio preserved as a museum is in Abiquiú, New Mexico.

O'Keeffe acquired the adobe house in Abiquiú in 1945 and spent years renovating it. The property became her principal home after Alfred Stieglitz died in 1946, and its rooms, courtyard, garden, and surrounding landscape influenced both her daily life and her art. She also maintained a residence at Ghost Ranch, farther north in New Mexico.

The Abiquiú house is especially associated with the door in the courtyard wall, which O'Keeffe painted repeatedly. For her, the house was not simply shelter; it was a carefully shaped environment and a recurring visual source. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum preserves the property and interprets her life and work there.

Abiquiú is sometimes confused with Santa Fe because the museum's main gallery is in Santa Fe. The historic house and studio themselves are in Abiquiú, about fifty miles north of Santa Fe.
