What's Open and Closed on Presidents Day 2013?

Presidents Day is Monday, Feb. 18. 

Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, it is still officially called “Washington’s Birthday” by the federal government," according to History.com. "Traditionally celebrated on Feb. 22—Washington’s actual day of birth—the holiday became popularly known as Presidents Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers.

"While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents past and present."
