Sign up for the Roswell Patch newsletter!

One of Roswell’s three most famous historic homes will once again host an annual tradition started by one of its residents.

On Friday, March 27, Smith Plantation will hold its annual Easter Egg Hunt. The hunt, which starts at 10 a.m., continues a long-standing tradition started by Lizzie Smith (1831-1915), who organized Easter Egg Hunts for local children in the early 20th century.

Children are invited to bring their own baskets and collect candy-filled treats. This event is open to the public and costs $5 per child, which includes participation in the event and a photo taken with the Easter Bunny.
