History of the White House Easter Egg Roll

The first annual White House Easter Egg Roll was held on April 22, 1878, after President Rutherford B. Hayes agreed to open the White House grounds on Easter Monday to children who wanted to roll Easter eggs. Music played by the United States Marine Band is also a highlight of the event started in 1889 by President Benjamin Harrison. Learn more here.
