Move over George Washington. Your 285th birthday may be coming up this week, but you’ll have to share the stage with several of your successors on Presidents’ Day.

On Monday, the US Postal Service will commemorate the centennial of president John F. Kennedy’s birth by dedicating a Forever stamp in his honor. The 10 a.m. ceremony will take place at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.

Hang around afterward and you can meet some other “guest’’ presidents — John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and yes, Number 1, as well. Actors portraying them will share stories and chat with visitors. The festivities last until 4 p.m., and feature creative activities, musical performances, and museum tours. For more information, go to www.jfklibrary.org.

Head down to Quincy, where the “The City of Presidents’’ is showing off its new Hancock-Adams Green at its first Presidents’ Day Winter Festival on Monday from 4 to 7 p.m. You can enjoy tours of Old City Hall and Church of the Presidents with costumed reenactors. Attractions also include the teen pop group 3D, the Massachusetts National Guard Quintet, a 35-foot snow slide, stilt walking, a marionette show, and a green-screen photo booth.

This is a week for history lessons. Survivors of the Battle of Iwo Jima more than 70 years ago will be honored at a State House ceremony on Wednesday at 11 a.m. At least eight men who fought at Iwo Jima are expected to attend, according to the State House News Service.

And on Thursday, Historic Newton will present “Frederick Douglass’s America’’ at the Newton Free Library. The 7 p.m. talk by Harvard University scholar and author John Stauffer will focus on the significance of Douglass’s “What to the Slave is the 4th of July’’ address, both at the time he delivered it in 1852 and as it continues to resonate today. Douglass was a former slave who became a leading abolitionist. This speech contributed to his stature as one of the nation’s greatest writers and orators.
