LOWELL, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) – The Jack Kerouac Estate has announced its formation of a new foundation which is intended to further the legacy of the famous writer and artist Jack Kerouac.

The Jack Kerouac Foundation is looking for funding to establish a Jack Kerouac Museum and Performance Center.

The center will be located at the former St. Jean Baptiste Church in Lowell at which the author used to attend. CEO Jim Sampas said Kerouac’s funeral mass was held there as well.

“There’s a real significance there,” Sampas said, “and I think the location is just beautiful.”
