About Heilwood
Tucked into the wooded hills of Indiana County, Heilwood is a quiet community with a colorful past. Originally known by the memorable name Possum Glory during its early timber days, the area grew into a bustling coal hub in the early 1900s, complete with neighborhood churches, local shops, and classic company-built homes. While the mines closed decades ago, the town's wide streets and vintage character still remain. Today, Heilwood offers a peaceful rural lifestyle surrounded by scenic western Pennsylvania countryside, ideal for anyone looking for open space, quiet surroundings, and a relaxed pace of life.
