Jack Kirouac Mural
St. Jean Baptiste Church
741 Merrimack St. Lowell, MA 01854
Congratulations to our friends in Lowell for this new addition to their city! Check it out next time you're in Lowell, MA!
A threat of rain couldn’t keep ardent Kerouackians from attending the official dedication of a new mural at the site of Lowell’s former St. Jean Baptiste church in what used to be Lowell’s Little Canada.
The mural was commissioned by the Jack Kerouac Estate as part of a proposal to convert the property for use as a performing arts center, Kerouac museum, and possible restaurant and educational space. The mural’s dedication took place on October 13 as part of the annual Lowell Celebrates Kerouac Festival.
Franco-American History Brought to Life in Lowell
This past June, UMass Lowell and community partners launched the Greater Lowell Franco-American Digital Archive 📜, preserving stories, photos, and treasures of Lowell’s Franco-American past. From rediscovered artifacts to delicious tourtières, the launch was a joyful celebration of heritage 🎉.
Relive the highlights and discover what’s now preserved for future generations!
