About Presidents' Day
Presidents' Day is a U.S. federal holiday observed on the third Monday of February. Originally established in 1885 to honor George Washington's birthday, it has evolved into a day that also recognizes Abraham Lincoln and, informally, all U.S. presidents. Many businesses offer Presidents' Day sales, and schools use the occasion to teach about American history and presidential leadership.
How to prepare for Presidents' Day
Watch for Presidents' Day sales on mattresses, appliances, and electronics — retailers often offer some of the best deals of the winter season. If you have the long weekend off, plan a short trip or staycation in advance. Families can visit presidential libraries, monuments, or historical sites. Teachers should prepare engaging history activities — biographies, debates, or timeline projects — to make the most of the educational opportunity.
