ROSWELL, GA -- The city of Roswell will once again host not one, but two Easter egg hunts this year.

The first event will take place at 10 a.m. March 18 at Smith Plantation, which is located at 935 Alpharetta Street.

Open to the public, the event continues a tradition started by Lizzie Smith, oldest child of Archibald and Anne Smith, who held Easter Egg Hunts for local children in the early 20th century.

Admission is $5 per person, and children should bring their own baskets to enjoy finding candy-filled treats.

For more information, call the Smith Plantation at 770-641-9378 or contact Kristen Thomasberger at kthomasberger@roswellgov.com.

On March 19, children will be able to hunt for eggs in the dark with nothing but a flashlight and their senses.

This event, which requires registration to attend, will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the East Roswell Recreation Center.

Along with traditional eggs, participants should keep an eye out for the Golden Egg for a special basket of prizes. Light refreshments will be served before the event begins, and guests will also be graced with a special VIP visit from a very special bunny.

Everyone attending must register - both children and adults - and that can be done by clicking here.

All children must be accompanied by an adult, and children under 1 are free. The East Roswell Recreation Center is located at 9000 Fouts Road.
