ear muffs: It's Ear Muff Day In Maine! - 12/04/10 02:21 PM
Today in Farmington, Maine, townsfolk are celebrating Ear Muff Day!  The inventor of the ear muff in 1873, Chester Greenwood, who was just 15 years old at the time, had chilly ears!  He patented his ear muffs at the age of 19.  Did you know that ear muffs were this old? 
 
 
Greenwood was a very talented boy and invented many more things by the time he reached adulthood, including folding beds and donut hooks.  In 1936, his factory was turning out hundreds of thousands of ear muffs.  Greenwood also installed the first telephone system in the town of Farmington!
