Presidents' Day Third Monday Of February Until the mid-1970s, the February 22 birthday of George Washington, hero of the Revolutionary War and first president of the United States, was a national holiday. In addition, the February 12 birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the president during the Civil War, was a holiday in most states. The two holidays have been joined as Presidents' Day that also embraces all past presidents. It is celebrated on the third Monday in February. Note...
