Did you know that, although we usually call it #PresidentsDay, the official name of the holiday is "Washington's Birthday?" It was established in 1885 in his honor and proposals to rename the day have failed to garner much support. So #HappyBirthday 🎂 Mr. Washington, who would be 287 years old today!

We are open for our regular hours today, so bring the family by to see signatures and quotes from every one of our former presidents and learn a little bit about the fundamental years of the USA!

7 New Year’s Eve Traditions That You Haven't Heard Of

Do you eat black-eyed peas on New Year's Eve? Do you make resolutions every year? What are your NYE traditions? 🍾🎊

Don't forget: We're open tomorrow for our regular hours! Museums are dim and quiet - a perfect place to recoup after a raucous night out. 😉☕️

Ringing in the new year and bidding adieu to the old one is a tradition that spans the globe. But it's not just all fireworks and glittery ball drops everywhere. Some celebrate by eating 12 grapes, while others smash fine china. If you're looking for a celebration that's a little off the beaten path...

12/28/2018

The Museum will be open for normal business hours both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day! We will also be offering walk-in tour experiences through January 2nd!

12/24/2018
