suffragistmemorial

The Turning Point Suffragist Memorial is the first national memorial covering the entire suffrage movement. It is both a visual symbol and educational tool that elevates the suffragists to their proper place in history.  Their stories begged to be told and you will find them in the garden-style memorial. The suffragists’ decades-long persistence resulted in the greatest expansion of democracy the country had ever witnessed when twenty-five million women won the right to vote with the stroke of a pen on August 26, 1920, now known as Women’s Equality Day. The Turning Point Suffragist Memorial is managed by NOVA Parks and located in its Occoquan Regional Park at 9751 Ox Rd, Lorton, VA 22079

Many of the videos on this page were funded and created by the Turning Point Suffragist Memorial Association. The non-profit raised the funds for construction of the memorial but has since dissolved.
