Presidents Day
Traditions & Online Puzzle

The first federal holiday to honor an American citizen, President George Washington, fell on his actual birthday, February 22. On January 1, 1971 the federal holiday was moved to the third Monday in February by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act.


The Act moved Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, and Columbus Day, from fixed dates to designated Mondays and was designed to increase the number of three-day weekends for federal employees. Today, most people think of Presidents Day as either a celebration of the office of the presidency, or a celebration of both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays. Many states across the U.S. celebrate the birthdays of presidents born in their states, in addition to President's Day. However you like to think of it, celebrate President's Day by making the puzzle of Mount Rushmore.


Remember to click on Ghost to have the picture as your work space, and click on Image when you need to see the colors better. You rotate the pieces by placing your mouse over a piece and using either the roller on your mouse or your arrow keys. Move your pieces by clicking on them and dragging.
