===Sale and closure of mines=== The Redlands Coal Company continued to run the mines until 1948, when they sold them back to Bethlehem Steel, which operated them for another year before selling them to the Pine Township Coal Company. The Pine Township Coal Company continued to operate until 1959, when the final remaining mine, #11, was exhausted and closed for good. Following the closure of mine #11 and without any other significant industry, Heilwood became less viable as a large, independent town and most residents moved to neighboring cities.<ref name="GR7">{{cite web|url=https://www.heilwood.com/coal-mines/bethlehem-mines-beyond/|publisher=[[Ronald Kuzemchak]]|access-date=2024-02-21|date=2005-06-01|title=Bethlehem Mines & Beyond}}</ref> All told, it is a remarkable history for a town designed to be temporary, and memories of its proud past as well as of those who were born, lived, worked, and died there are preserved online at [https://heilwood.com Heilwood.com] and in the Pennsylvania State University's T. R. Johns Collection, and at the Indiana County Historical Society and the Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
