Country artist Zach Bryan has acquired the former Saint Jean Baptiste Church in Lowell, aiming to create the Jack Kerouac Center to honor the influential writer. Initially planned in 2022, the project faced funding hurdles but is now revitalized thanks to Bryan's involvement. The transformation will turn the church into a creative hub featuring exhibits and events, showcasing Kerouac’s legacy. This site is significant as it was part of Kerouac's life, being where he served as an altar boy and had his funeral, thereby adding historical depth to the center.
The church where Kerouac served as an altar boy is being converted into a 'vibrant cultural hub,' revitalizing his legacy and providing a space for community engagement.
Bryan's involvement marks a turning point, bringing essential funding and renewed energy, allowing the project that honors Kerouac’s legacy to finally move forward.
