Here’s what’s closed or altered on Presidents Day

Presidents day

Today is Presidents Day, a federal holiday.

It was originally established in 1885 to honor President George Washington on his birthday - Feb. 22 - until 1971 when it became part of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. It’s now celebrated the third Monday of February.

The idea was to give (most) workers more three-day weekends, and honor all presidents.
