W7BP's got history with Deanwood's history

This is not the Ward 7 Business Partnership's first community history project. In 2009, the organization, which was then known as Deanwood Heights Main Streets, received a grant to fund Deanwood Churches. Faith and Foundation Historic Tour, 2009. The tour featured 13 churches and businesses in Deanwood. A year later, they received a grant from the DC Humanities Council for Deanwood Heights Mainstreets: Faith and Foundation Historic Tour of Deanwood 2010, described this way: "Though many of Deanwood's historic houses of worship are included on the tour, the path also includes businesses and public spaces that have left a mark on the community's development."
