Chantilly Battlefield
Ox Hill Battlefield Park
Although most of the Chantilly (or Ox Hill as the Confederates named it) battlefield has been lost to development, an small urban park preserves a piece of the battlefield, near where Union General Phillip Kearny was killed. Ox Hill Battlefield Park today is a calming refuge in the midst of a heavily commercial area. Signs, monuments and interpretive kiosks at the park present information about the battle and its significance and offer insights into some of the men who fought here.
Preservation
The American Battlefield Trust and our members would like to save land at Chantilly Battlefield.
