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.
