Washington DC Heritage Trail project

In October 2013, Dana Ellyn began her newest big painting project. She is using the Cultural Tourism DC Neighborhood Heritage Trail guides to inspire a new series of paintings. She has started with the Downtown Heritage Trail, "Civil War to Civil Rights" which begins just steps from the front door of her studio.

Downtown Heritage Trail .3 Clara Barton: Angel of the Battlefield
Clara Barton (Missing Soldiers)

In 1997 a government employee stumbled upon a dark attic at 437 7th Street NW in Washington DC. He spotted a sign that read "Missing Soldiers Office, Clara Barton, 3rd Floor, Room 9". He realized it was the historic home and office of Clara Barton (known as 'The Angel of the Battlefield"). Barton was a Civil War nurse and the founder of the Red Cross.
