Tono, Washington

Tono is a ghost town in southwest Washington in the United States.

[4] At its peak in the 1920s Tono had over 1,000 residents, 125 houses, a hotel, a hospital, a general store, and a school.

[6][5] In 1967 the Pacific Power & Light Company revived operations at the Tono field, now known as the Centralia Coal Mine.

& L. purchased the property including the town site (and the Hirvela's home) and began strip mining the area to supply coal for the Centralia Power Plant in nearby Lewis County.

The carts were donated to the Tenino Depot Museum with future plans to have them displayed.
