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 .8 Pennsylvania Avenue: 10th Street & Pennsylvania Ave. NW Day Drinking (Gin Rickey) (from the guide): "During the Civil War, the avenue's south side was a dangerous and disreputable section known as "Murder Bay," where adventurers found gambling houses, saloons, cheap hotels and houses of ill repute". In this area was the famous Shoomaker's bar where the Gin Rickey was first created (now DC's official drink).
