Fortunately, in 1878 President Rutherford was persuaded to shift the fun to the White House lawn. (Read more about this history.) The Egg Roll is now the largest public event at the White House, attracting some 40,000 visitors. The event is free; you'll need timed passes, though, by the National Park Service.
