Easter Egg Roll: 1889
"On the broad portico of the southern entrance stood the president of the United States holding in his arms his grandson Benjamin Harrison McKee, and the little fellow, following the suggestion of his grandsire, waved his hand in recognition of the plaudits which greeted the unusual scene....
Down on the green sward thousands of eager, bright-eyed masters and
misses thronged about the music stand upon which, at the suggestion of
the president, the Marine Band, under the direction of Professor Sousa,
was discoursing selections appropriate to the occasion."
