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. Congress had previously passed legislation to restrict public use of the Capitol Grounds, so children in the nation’s capital looked elsewhere to roll their Easter eggs. Since then, children have gathered annually on the White House South Lawn to roll eggs and participate in Easter activities.
Children participate in the White House Easter Egg Roll on April 19, 1965.
