Black85k10, I am in Richmond, well, really Henrico County near Richmond. Today is a state and county holiday. Try going to any county or state office today or Monday, you won't get in anywhere in the Commonwealth.
You are near Harrisonburg, huh? Ever go to the shooting range off route 33 just over the West Virginia border in the George Washington Nat'l forest? Gonna be frequenting that place often this spring/summer on camping trips.
Lee/Jackson Day (from wikipedia):
Lee–Jackson Day is a holiday celebrated in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the USA, for the birthdays of Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. The original holiday, created in 1889, celebrated Lee's birthday. Jackson's name was added to the holiday in 1904. In 1983, the holiday was merged with the new federal holiday Martin Luther King, Jr. Day as Lee-Jackson-King Day in Virginia. This merge was reverted in 2000.
Lee–Jackson Day is currently observed on the Friday before Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which is the third Monday in January. State offices are closed for both holidays[1].
