The White House Historical Association has been manufacturing an annual ornament since 1981. Each year, a new design is created honoring the next President in succession. The 2010 White House Ornament highlights William McKinley Jr. (1897-1901) and celebrates the role of music in the traditions of the White House. The front of the ornament depicts members of the United States Marine Band performing on the snow covered North Drive and the reverse side shows the band playing for President and Mrs. McKinley in the patriotic splendor of the East Room. It was in the East Room, that the McKinleys began the era of musicales (receptions with music as the leading feature) at the White House, a tradition that continues to this day.
