Closed County and State Offices for Lincoln’s Birthday

Today is Lincoln’s birthday, which is a Missouri State and County holiday.

Most state offices are closed today, with the exception of emergency services, such as the Missouri State Highway Patrol. County Sheriff’s departments are also open today.

While most state offices are closed, the Missouri House and Senate are both in session on this holiday.

Missouri’s Attorney General Andrew Bailey tweets out:

Today, Missouri observes Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. May we always remember his wise words:

“Don’t interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.” -President Abraham Lincoln
