Every year, on the Monday following Easter Sunday, the White House opens up the South Lawn to crowds of children and their parents for the annual Easter Egg Roll. Beginning in the 1870s, children rolled their Easter eggs down a hill at the Capitol building in Washington, D.C.
While the main attraction may be the Roll itself—children push the eggs down a hill with spoons, a tradition begun in 1974 with spoons from the White House kitchen—in recent years, the lawn was packed with other activity stations.
This year, the Isaac Meier Homestead will be joining in the tradition of egg rolling at the Homestead on Saturday, April 12 with sign-up beginning at 12:30 and egg rolling starting at 1 PM.
