AP updates for President’s Day:
Mount Vernon preps for Presidents Day celebration
MOUNT VERNON, Va. (AP) — George Washington’s home is getting ready for the Presidents Dayholiday.
Mount Vernon, the former home of the nation’s first president, is offering free admission on Monday.
Spokeswoman Melissa Wood says the estate often sees more than 10,000 people come for the holiday, but they are expecting a smaller crowd this year. That’s in part because school systems like Fairfax County are holding classes to make up for lost snow days.
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe is expected to make remarks at the home. There'll also be a wreath-laying ceremony at Washington’s tomb and a 21-gun salute.
Saturday schedule for Metro on Presidents Day
WASHINGTON (AP) — Metro trains will be operating on a Saturday schedule for the Presidents Dayholiday.
Metro says the system will open at 5 a.m. and close at midnight on Monday.
Metro is also continuing track work through the Monday holiday. On the red line, free shuttle buses are replacing red line trains between Woodley Park and Metro Center. The Farragut North and Dupont Circle stations are closed. Metro says express buses are operating between Woodley Park and Metro Center. Passengers using those buses should add about 20 minutes to their travel times. Local buses are also operating and making intermediate stops at the closed stations.
No track work is being done on the orange, blue, yellow and green lines.
