In recognition of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Civil War Trails, Inc. launched a new bilingual sign at Ox Hill Battlefield Park that interprets the history of the battle in Korean.
Also featuring a Spanish translation, the Ox Hill Battlefield sign is the first bilingual Civil War Trails sign in the nation out of over 1,350 sites across six states.
Barry Biggar, the president and CEO of Visit Fairfax, hopes the sign, translated and reviewed by local and regional partners, will “encourage visitation from non-English speaking travelers.”
According to Fairfax County’s website, nearly 39 percent of residents speak a language other than English at home. Most of them speak either Spanish or an Asian/Pacific language.
