George Washington was uneasy about the idea of publicly celebrating his life. And yet the nation is once again commemorating the first U.S. president on Monday.

Most banks and stock markets will be closed in observance of the federal holiday. Presidents Day is not recognized as a state holiday in Indiana. Wondering if banks are open or closed Monday on Presidents Day for George Washington's birthday as a federal holiday?

Is Presidents Day the most confusing holiday in the U.S.? States seem to have as many names for it and ideas about whom to honor as there have been presidents. The federal government doesn’t even recognize Monday as Presidents Day.
