Presidents Day: What’s Open and What’s Closed

Monday is Presidents Day, a federal holiday that gives some people — but not everyone — the day off.

Students at Quaker Valley, Sewickley Academy and St. James School have the day off and most likely will be sleeping in late or perhaps making a trip to Mount Rushmore to celebrate four presidents at one time.

Or not.

Here’s the scoop on what's open and closed:

• Sewickley-area municipal offices: Open.

• Sewickley Library: Closed.

• Sewickley YMCA: Open.

• Allegheny County offices and courts: Closed.

• Pennsylvania state offices, wine and spirits stores and courts: Closed. That includes PennDOT drivers license centers, which are closed through Monday.

• Federal offices: Closed, of course, because it is a federal holiday.

If you're looking to do something presidential, instead of simply hitting Presidents Day sales, here's a list of presidential sites compiled by Lauren Himiak for About.com'sNational & State Parks website:

George Washington Birthplace National Monument in Virginia;

Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial in Indiana;

Lincoln Home National Historic Site in Illinois.

The National Park Service also maintains a number of sites that commemorate other past presidents, including John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses Grant, James Garfield, Teddy Roosevelt, William Taft, Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

For that four-for-the-price-of-one site, there's Mount Rushmore.
