Minnesota Woman Suffrage Memorial, Memorial and art installation at State Capitol Grounds, Saint Paul, United States.
The Minnesota Woman Suffrage Memorial is an art installation on the State Capitol grounds in Saint Paul featuring twenty-three garden beds with native prairie plants and a steel trellis structure. The design incorporates inscribed names and educational panels that provide historical context about the movement throughout the garden space.
The memorial was dedicated on August 26, 2000, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment that gave women voting rights nationwide. It recognizes the decades of organizing and activism by Minnesota residents who contributed to this major constitutional change.
This memorial honors 25 leaders of the Minnesota suffrage movement, with their names inscribed for visitors to encounter as they walk through the gardens. The bronze plaques around the site share details about the strategies and key moments that shaped this local struggle.
The memorial sits on the northeast corner of the upper State Capitol mall and is easily accessible on foot for those visiting the capitol grounds. The garden beds remain open to visitors year-round, making it convenient to stop and read the information panels at your own pace.
The garden intentionally uses yellow daffodils and white flowers that echo the colors worn by activists during their campaign rallies and marches. This floral choice makes the memorial a living representation of the movement's visual identity.
