Hendrick Cottage is a historic building in Simsbury, Connecticut, United States. Dating to around 1795, it is believed to have been built by John Poisson.[1] In 1965, it was moved half a mile from its original location (on the north bank of Hop Brook facing West Street)[1] to become part of the collection of nine buildings comprising the Massacoh Plantation, part of Simsbury Center Historic District. It is named for its last owner, Fanny Josephine Pomeroy Hendrick.[1]

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
