Lucy Burns Museum

"Small, free (donations accepted), the more interesting part was on the Lorton Workfarm history. Would have liked to see more detail in both the Workfarm and Sufragette histories. Small gift shop with some interesting stuff. When you pull into the Workfarm, it is not obvious where to go. Park, walk between any of the buildings, and you'll end up in a kind of yard. The museum (and artists' shops) are round the edge. Turn right, the museum is in the near right corner."

"Really enjoyed our visit to the museum. We had a private tour and can appreciate so much more of what sacrifices were made by these amazing women, so we have a vote today."

"Interesting piece of history. People in the museum very well informed and.friendly. Lots of things to do on the grounds besides the museum."

"Fascinating visit to museum & a former Lorton Correctional cell block. Eye opening to the struggle, hardship & torture suffragists endured in their efforts to secure the right of women to vote."

"This is a great museum to better understand the Lorton DC Prison Complex and the major role it played in the efforts by Suffragettes to push for the vote for women. The displays are wonderful and full of information. There are a great number of artifacts related to the prison ranging from confiscated items to prisoner created art. Admission is free unless you want to pay $5.00 if you are over 12 years old to see the preserved cell block behind the exhibit gallery (well worth it to better understand the life of incarcerated individuals at the Lorton Workhouse). The staff and docents were very kind and helpful. They have some great additional resources for students like scavenger hunts and activities."
