 The Kerouac House, as it has come to be known, is now a living, literary tribute to Kerouac.The Kerouac Project began with a chance discovery by Bob Kealing, a reporter with the Orlando area NBC affiliate and freelance writer.In 1996 he learned that Jack Kerouac had been living in a c. 1920 Orlando cottage when his classic work "On the Road" was published to worldwide acclaim in 1957 and where he actually typed the original manuscript of his later novel, "The Dharma Bums".
