Richmond Cottage from New Plymouth, New Zealand, a typical residence of the first Taranaki settlers, is one of the heritage buildings of the city, registered by Heritage New Zealand as a Category 1 Historic Place.
The building is an early pioneering cottage, associated with the initial period of European settlement in New Plymouth. It was deconstructed from its original location and moved to the present site, next to the library and museum building, in 1961, consequently becoming a colonial museum that opened to the public in 1963.
