On Easter Monday the hottest ticket in Washington D.C. is the annual Easter Egg Roll.
Washingtonian families have spent the day on the South Lawn of the White House rolling and playing with their dyed Easter eggs since President Rutherford B. Hayes opened the gates to the Executive Mansion in 1878.
Since then, the affair has become one of the most high-profile events that takes place at the White House each year. In an interview with The New York Times, Melinda Bates, who organized eight years of Clinton-era Easter Egg Rolls said, "The White House and the first lady are judged on how well they put it on."
While President Trump still has a few days left to put the finishing touches on his first Egg Roll, Americans across the country are wondering how this year's event will stack up against it's predecessors. Here's a look at White House Egg Rolls past.
