Easter Egg Roll

2025 Eisenhower National Historic Site Easter Egg Roll Event

Eisenhower National Historic Site will host our second annual Easter Egg Roll Event on April 19, 2025, from 11 am to 2 pm.

The Eisenhowers brought this beloved event back to the South Lawn of the White House in 1953 after a long suspension due to World War II and continued food rationing. Now in its second year, park staff, in the spirit and tradition of the original Eisenhower Presidential Easter Egg Roll, encourage young visitors and families to engage in a series of fun-filled activities culminating in an Easter Egg Roll on the lawn of the Eisenhower home in Gettysburg, PA. Visitors will have opportunities to learn about Eisenhower family Easter traditions at the White House and how they enjoyed time with their children and grandchildren. Additionally, the Eisenhower home will be open for open-house style tours.

This event is made possible through our continued partnership with the Gettysburg Foundation, and with the assistance of Destination Gettysburg, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Society, and the Adams County Library. The event is free and open to the public. Free parking is available on site.

In the event of inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled for Monday April 21, from 11 am to 2 pm. An announcement will be made on Thursday April 17 if the event will be rescheduled to Monday April 21.
