Trivia: Rutherford B. Hayes' Claim to Fame

By Alex in Daily Trivia, Politics on Mar 25, 2008 at 5:00 am


Rutherford B. Hayes was the first US President to have a telephone and a typewriter in the White House.

You may not remember Hayes, but he started the very first Easter Egg hunt on the lawn of the White House, a tradition that still continues today on the Monday after Easter.

    And thanks to some car company's President Day sale ads, I can remember that Millard Fillmore was the first president to have a running water bath installed. :)
