Holiday closings

Independence Day commemorates the American colonies declaring independence from England. The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, and was followed by the Revolutionary War, which ended when the British surrendered at Yorktown, Pa., on Oct. 19, 1781. Because the Fourth is on a Sunday, the holiday generally will be recognized on Monday. Here's what is open and closed Monday:
