This Day in History March 13, 1877



So did you know about this holiday? It is National Earmuff Day! And why, do you ask? I'm so glad you did ask!


It was on this date in 1877 that Chester Greenwood (a man with large ears) patented his invention.  He was 15 years old at the time, and he called them "Champion Ear Protectors."

But it does not mean that I can't admire them!
