'For the past four years, we have been impressed with the Pulaski County Historical Society’s work and we are thrilled to be able to continue our support and deepen our roots and partnerships in Pulaski County.'
As construction progresses on solar farms in fields across Pulaski and Starke counties, Mammoth Solar recently pledged to donate money toward the Pulaski County Historical Society’s new cultural center project. Chris Kline, development manager with Doral Renewables, the developer behind Mammoth Solar, said the company is thrilled to support a project that celebrates Pulaski County’s history and creates opportunities for connection and collaboration.
”For the past four years, we have been impressed with the Pulaski County Historical Society’s work and we are thrilled to be able to continue our support and deepen our roots and partnerships in Pulaski County,” Kline said.
Mammoth's donations are expected to go toward furniture and equipment for a new community room, a key piece of the cultural center and the society’s larger museum expansion project at 110 N. Monticello Street in Winamac. The Pulaski County Historical Society currently has a location at 500 S. Monticello St. and plans on remaining at that location until June.

The amount of the donation from Mammoth has not yet been disclosed, but developers said the financial support was in process. In a news release Kathi Thompson of the Pulaski County Historical Society said the organization was grateful for the solar farm’s financial boost toward the project. Once opened, the room will be used for things like local nonprofit organizations, clubs and community events.
The Mammoth Solar farm is currently in the first of three phases in what is estimated to be around $1.5 billion investment that will create one of the largest solar farms in the U.S. Once complete, it will generate around 1.6 billion gigawatts that will power roughly 275,000 homes.
