A historic account from Linton recalls six years ago the post office moved to its current building and reprints an 1832 narrative about naming the town. The story links a wandering Jewish peddler who stopped at Wick Wines’s log home and inspired the post office name New Jerusalem amid rough roads and long journeys.
