Presidents Day Quiz

Sharpen Your Knowledge of Presidential History

Presidents Day is coming up next week, and I hope you’re among those looking forward to a fun, relaxing day off! This federal holiday originated with a national commemoration of George Washington’s birthday before morphing into a broader recognition of U.S. presidents in the latter half of the 20th century. One of the earliest celebrations of Washington’s birthday took place at Valley Forge in 1778 when a group of drummers and fifers from Proctor’s Artillery serenaded the beloved general.

This year we wanted to have a little fun here at iVoterGuide, while sharpening our knowledge of presidential history. Take this quiz to find out how well you can identify some key presidential quotes and speeches. We hope a good dose of presidential wisdom will inspire a fresh wave of gratitude for our country.
