It all started with ears, Chester Greenwood’s ears. Chester’s ears got cold. They got so cold something had to be done. That something was an invention by a fifteen-year-old boy that would support him for the rest of his life. The invention? Earmuffs. Later, when Chester Greenwood had become a legend, newspaper writers started the story that his ears turned weird colors in the cold.
Earmuffs were invented in the state of Maine by Chester Greenwood. Greenwood needed ear protection from the bitter cold and created the winter accessory at the age of 15.
The state of Maine is known for both. In fact, Farmington, Maine celebrates Chester Greenwood (inventor of earmuffs) and his earmuffs the first Saturday in December. Chester Greenwood Day is celebrated with a parade where everything is dressed as or wearing earmuffs from police cruisers to cows. Maine is also the leading producer of toothpicks for the United States.
The first ear muffs were known to be invented by Chester Greenwood in 1873 in Farmington, Maine, United States. He came up with the idea at a young age to protect his ears from the cold while ice skating.
