Caption: Entrance to Turning Point Suffragist Memorial
Additional Description: The Occoquan Workhouse marker states that suffragists were imprisoned at this location in 1917, because of their efforts for the right to vote. In May 2021 the Turning Point Suffragist Memorial was dedicated to honor these women. The memorial is about three miles away from the marker, at the end of the road going into Occoquan Regional Park. The park entrance intersects with Ox Road 123 North, south of the marker. The memorial recounts the history of the suffragist movement of the early 20th century.
