With a three-day weekend to anticipate, here are the best things to do on Columbus Day: take a walk or hike, go camping, take a short trip, visit a garden, pick some apples, visit a pumpkin patch, see some animals, go to a drive-in movie theater, indulge in a meal outside, go to a local winery, learn the history behind the holiday, attend a local event, and donate to an indigenous rights organization.
