Just across the Occoquan River from Prince William County, a memorial will be built to remember the women suffragists who fought for the right to vote.
To celebrate and honor the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote, Fairfax County is hosting multiple museum exhibitions, events, and constructing a memorial. The county, according to a press release, has a ‘remarkable connection to the women’s suffrage movement, beyond its proximity to the nation’s capital city.’
