Directions to the Ox Hill Battlefield Park
Ox Hill Battlefield Park is in Fairfax, Virginia. The tiny portion of the battlefield that has been preserved from development is just west of the interchange of Interstate 66 and US Highway 50. Exit Interstate 66 on West Ox Road and head south less than half a mile. The park is on the right just past the intersection with Monument Drive.
