Which New Mexico town was home to Georgia O'Keeffe's restored residence and studio?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe’s restored residence and studio are in Abiquiú, New Mexico.

O'Keeffe acquired the Abiquiú house in 1945 and began using it as a home and studio. She had admired the property for years, especially its adobe walls, courtyard, and distinctive door. The building and its surrounding landscape became important sources for her paintings.

The house was restored after O'Keeffe’s death and is now operated as a historic site associated with the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. Tours help visitors understand how the artist organized her working environment and how ordinary architectural details became visual subjects.

Abiquiú is sometimes confused with Santa Fe, where the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum is located, or with Ghost Ranch, another New Mexico place closely connected to her work. These locations are distinct. O'Keeffe’s Abiquiú home was her principal residence from 1949 until 1984, when she moved to Santa Fe because of failing eyesight.
