About the event
Join us for The Tempest at Ox Hill: September 1862's Battle of Chantilly, a walking tour of the Ox Hill Battlefield, just a few days after the 160th anniversary of the fight.

You know that Second Manassas' days of intense combat led to the small fight at Chantilly (or Ox Hill), a battle famous mostly for taking place amidst a tremendous lightning storm that marked the end of Lee's 1862 Virginia Campaign. But there's much more than unusual weather to this short, sharp struggle that proved pivotal in the lives of Chantilly's veterans. Join historian and author David A. Welker on September 3rd 2022 at Ox Hill Battlefield Park from 10-12 to explore the Battle of Chantilly's events, personalities, and implications which echoed throughout the Civil War.
