Presidents Day is Monday, and a variety of services will be closed in Washington in observance of the holiday.

Presidents Day, which was originally established in 1885 to honor President George Washington, will provide a much-appreciated three-day weekend for many.

During the debate of that bill, it was proposed that Washington's Birthday be renamed Presidents Day to celebrate the birthdays of both Washington on Feb. 22 and President Abraham Lincoln's birthday on Feb. 12.
