Mae Phelps was one of the most influential—and controversial—women in early Trinidad. Through determination, resilience, and remarkable business acumen, she built a successful enterprise during a time when opportunities for women were extraordinarily limited. Her story reflects both the challenges and complexities of the American West and remains an important part of Trinidad's history.

The Mae Phelps Suite honors a woman whose life reminds us that history is rarely simple. By sharing her story, Tarabino Inn celebrates the many remarkable women who helped shape Trinidad in very different ways.
