What's Open and Closed on Veterans Day in Minneapolis?

Veterans Day, Nov. 11, falls on a Sunday this year. That means City of Minneapolis offices, and some services and local businesses will be closed Sunday. Others will be closed Monday.

Veteran Day "originated as 'Armistice Day' on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I, according to the U.S. Census website. "Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. President Dwight Eisenhower signed legislation in 1954 to change the name to Veterans Day as a way to honor those who served in all American wars."
