Question: Which President hosted the first White House Easter Egg Roll?
Answer: In the 1870s, Capitol Hill became a popular spot for children to roll eggs on Easter Monday. As the event grew, the wear on the grounds prompted Congress to pass a law in 1876 prohibiting its use as a playground. However, in 1878, President Rutherford B. Hayes allowed children to roll eggs on the White House lawn, and this tradition continues today.
