Independence Day means a day off for many people, but some places and even some government facilities will remain open.
Tuesday is Independence Day, and many places you might want to visit will be closed due to the holiday. Nearly every nonessential state and federal government office will be closed on Tuesday in celebration of the Fourth of July.
Independence Day began as an unpaid federal holiday for workers in 1870. In 1938, federal workers began getting a paid day off in observance of the Fourth. With the holiday being in the middle of summer, it is among the busiest travel holidays of the year. Not only will most places that cater to visitors, like hotels, gas stations and airports, be open, expect them to be busy.SEE MORE: The cost of grilling out this Fourth of July is less than last year- Lowe's - Nonessential federal offices, courthousesMost retailers recommend checking store hours on their website for hours as there may be some exceptions.
