Patriots' Day

The third Monday of April is a good time to be in Massachusetts or Maine, the only two states where you can expect to get a day off on Patriots' Day. Although not a Federal holiday, most workplaces and many schools are closed, as dictated by local customs. Patriots' day commemorates famous battles fought near Boston in 1775, and the fact that it’s still remembered almost 250 years later shows just how significant the events were.
