Dexter Cabin was the Leadville, Colorado home of James V. Dexter, a mining investor and businessman. Although it is a cabin, it is "surprisingly plush". He used it as a hunting lodge.
It is a Colorado State Historic Site and is operated as a museum by the state, together with Healy House. The two are located within the Leadville Historic District, which is itself a National Historic Landmark. Dexter Cabin was moved to its present location next to Healy House.
Dexter Cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
