2. WHY DO WE CELEBRATE PRESIDENTS DAY?
For so many years, George Washington's (February
22, 1732) and Abraham Lincoln's (February 12, 1809)
birthdays were celebrated separately to honor our
first and sixteenth presidents, whom many consider
to be the most famous of all presidents.
The two holidays were combined into one Presidents
Day with the passage of the Uniform Federal
Holidays Act in 1971.

6. FUN FACTS ABOUT THE
FIRST US PRESIDENTS
The president's residence wasn't always the White House in Washington, DC.
George Washington spent time in both New York and Philadelphia. In 1800, the
unfinished "white house" was moved into by John Adams, the second president.
On September 18, 1793, then-President George Washington laid the cornerstone
of the United States Capitol in the building's southeast corner. During the Civil
War, the structure was used as a hospital, barracks, and even a bakery!
After his father served as the second president, John Quincy Adams became the
sixth president in 1824.
Three past US presidents died on July 4, the historic day which celebrates the
signing of the Declaration of Independence. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson
both died on the same day: July 4, 1826 (the Declaration’s 50th anniversary).
James Monroe died five years after in 1831.
