Julia Walker Ruhl, Suffragist

Julia Walker Ruhl, Suffragist 

On July 10, 2022, The Victorian Chautauqua featured a special ceremony honoring the late Julia Walker Ruhl (1861-1956) at her original summer cottage. Julia was a suffragist who became instrumental in helping to pass the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote. The roadside marker is placed at 105 G Street in Mountain Lake Park, Maryland, in front of Julia's former residence. The marker was funded by the William G. Pomeroy Foundation as part of the "National Votes for Women Trail" roadside marker program. Maryland now has ten markers across the state recognizing important women who contributed to passing the 19th Amendment.
