Today (February 20, 2017) is Presidents’ Day.

Presidents’ Day is celebrated on the third Monday of February, and was originally established in 1885 to recognize President George Washington, the first United States president.

Within the federal government, the holiday is still officially called “Washington’s Birthday,” but the holiday became popularly known as Presidents’ Day after 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which provided more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers.

In honor of Presidents’ Day, here are five iconic US presidents and their birthplace homes.
