Presidents’ Day is a federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February to honor all persons who served as President of the United States. The day is also a state holiday in most states where 15 different names are used including Presidents’ Day, President’s Day, and Washington’s and/or Lincoln’s Birthday.
Numerous U.S. presidents have had a presence in Bucks County throughout history:
• General George Washington and men of the Continental Army billeted in Doylestown on their way to the Battle of Monmouth, NJ.
• John Quincy Adams (on right) visited James Biddle’s Greek Revival estate, Andalusia, along the Delaware River.
• Although loyalists at Lumberville’s Black Bass Hotel had turned away General Washington, years later Grover Cleveland (on left) stayed there many times.
