The Eisenhower National Historic Site in Gettysburg, PA, is hosting their second Easter Egg Roll event! From 11 AM to 2 PM on Saturday, April 19th there will be games, activities, and most importantly, an egg roll.

The tradition of the White House Easter Egg Roll started under President Rutherford B. Hayes and has continued off and on ever since. World Wars, the Great Depression and global food shortages after World War II caused several presidents to forgo the event. But, in 1953, the Eisenhowers moved into the White House and Mamie Eisenhower reignited the tradition.
