Jack Kerouac House

attractions 4.6 (19)

This is not a museum you visit; it's a working space you apply to inhabit. Kerouac lived here in 1957–58 while On The Road was gaining traction, and he wrote the original manuscript of Dharma Bums in this house. If you're serious about finishing something, the Kerouac Project offers exactly what it promises: a quiet house, no rent, no distractions, and the weight of literary history as your desk mate.
