The first White House Easter Egg Roll was held in 1878 when President Rutherford B. Hayes opened up the South Lawn to children who had been chased off the grounds of the U.S. Capitol. John Philip Sousa and the Marine Band performed for the crowd at the Egg Roll in 1889 and, in 1933, the Easter Egg Roll was the first broadcast to a national audience over the radio by Eleanor Roosevelt. President Nixon first invited the Easter Bunny to be part of the event and President Reagan started the tradition of the egg hunt.
More than 80,000 souvenir wooden eggs are made each year and have been available for public purchase. Over 14,000 hard-boiled eggs are hand-dyed for use in the Easter egg roll and the egg hunt. Guests at the Egg Dying station will decorate over 4,500 hard-boiled eggs on the day of the Easter Egg Roll. Visually impaired children are able to participate in the Egg Roll and Egg Hunt through the use of special chirping eggs.
